Looking for an old visualization...
Here's an odd request:

Way back in Winamp 2.xx, there was a visualization included as someone's picks that (I think) was called Trippy Purples, or something along those lines (it did have Purple in the name)... does anyone have any idea how I can find this visualization again, apart from installing all of the different versions on Winamp?

Thanks in advance!

if it was AVS, then you should post a picture, or atleast give a describtion, but if it is an stand-alone vis, then you should be able to find it in the plugins section, and search for it...

are you looking for an AVS preset or some other visualization? tried searching this website for trip and purple? maybe those screenshots are a help.

It was an old AVS preset that came bundled with Winamp when you installed it (like in Justin's picks), and since I don't have it on any of my computers, I can't post a picture. I'll try and describe it, but I doubt that it would help... it was a simple visualization that had a spinning red line as the analyzer, and the background color was a purple that faded to red, basically.

Any chance that anyone hasn't uninstalled Winamp 2 and could look for it on their computer? This is an old AVS preset from years ago (I know I had it like 5 or 6 years ago, if that helps at all).

if it was bundled with winamp, then you should be able to find the version here http://www.winampheaven.net/

Thanks for the quick replies... it wasn't in the zip file, but I'm going to look at winampheaven and install some of the older versions and see if I can find it... if not, I guess I'll install some more :D

I found it!

It was included in Winamp 2.61 Full, when we first got AVS 2.0 . Thanks for everyones help.

BTW, it is called mighty tastey purples, in the Justin folder. It seems to run a lot faster now, though...
