Oh goody! A new rule!
I shall learn it well, so that I can stay up-to-date updated, like a computer application, and "hipster", like trousers that were in fashion fifty years ago.
Give it a few years, and I may even manage to evolve to "modern", wearing lots of ribbons, and sport bell-bottoms and platform shoes.

Yes, Winamp, QMP (which I had never heard about)... there are plenty of software like those ones which work wonderfully well but that are ugly as hell  (of course this is a personal opinion and no one must stick to it (gosh, I guess this happens when you are spending too much time in the Internet)).
I always find better looking something that is following the design guidelines of the OS it works into...

Well, I do keep telling MS to stop with the terrible OS interface choices, but they won't listen.

I'm sure that if you try it hard they will listen and who knows which kind of havoc we can get...

Can you use WinAmp with this[^] plugin?

I stopped using Winamp at Windows XP, it was that piece of software that was good looking and that worked like charm but that was forgotten.
time ago I wanted to use it again and I found that it was being sold to other companies, and I did not used it anymore... frankly stupid I know, nowadays I feel that the Winamp interface is not fitting OK to the OS I'm using...
It looks like they are emerging again... See: http://www.winamp.com/#[^]
And of course... click the llama ass to be amazed!

Joan, I run WinAmp 5.55 on XP, Win7 and Win8 with no problems. What OS are you using?

I'm sorry Ravi, probably something has been lost in translation... 
I'm sure it can work on any Windows OS, the "issue" if you want to call it that way, is the user interface which is not similar at all with what Windows 7 is showing usually. Usually I don't like the programs which change every GUI aspect of the OS.
Something that everyone must agree, of course...

Nothing at all, it is a wonderful piece of software...
I'm using VLC to play videos on my computer, when I do this I loose the song it was being played, also when it gets closed it doesn't remember what it was playing.
I do have a lot of songs in the computer and all of them are ok (they are mine so I like them) and I like to start from the beginning and let them play... this way it takes a lot of time before listening again to the same song... so having a program that is capable to remember what was being played when it gets closed is nice.

Ten days to a super-you: chew gum, stop multi-tasking, avoid social media, and more: [^].
I'm surprised they forgot to mention avoiding relationships and bad science.

The Pomerdoro bit is for real: taking breaks improves my productivity for sure. (That's part of the reason I'm here so much, it changes my concentration)
The scents bit I can believe- some scents to improve my thinking, others can wreck it. Fresh bread, bacon, chocolate all distract, coffee concentrates.
Music... Not sure. Music I don't like is bad, very bad, for concentration - but I'm not convinced that music I do like helps it instead of getting me bopping along...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I found music like Café del Mar the right thing for coding - I do like it but at the same time it's kind of unobtrusive.

I'd like to have music in the background but I can't concentrate with headphones on and anything coming out of a speaker is disruptive to my co-workers. It interferes with the music they're playing.

Multitasking is definitely a productivity killer, as is social media.
Pomodoro helps, or so 'they' say.
Having a good diet helps in many ways, as does a good night rest (daily).
I wouldn't be surprised if lemon scent would be good for productivity as well

They also forgot to mention that it's better if you don't go blind by looking at that god-awful web-page.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
