I'm fairly new to MC10. To what extent are winamp plugins importable? I know there's a huge library of stuff for winamp out there. Any recommendations?
That's the problem - some plugins are supported and some aren't and there isn't really any rhyme or reason to it. And some of the ones that are supported don't work completely as expected.
Personally, I've had reasonable success with DSP plugins, but I find that MC has enough options here now anyway. Haven't really tried too many visualisation plugins (tried Geiss, but too glitchy in MC for my liking).
Input plugins are a mixed bag... some work fine, others cause MC to hang to crash. Depends really on the plugin/what you want to listen to.
Side Note: I've managed to get MC to play playstation sound files (PSF plugin) with reasonable stability... It's just a shame MC can't read the tags of most of the files it plays through winamp plugins...
