  • it appears to be just an added optional feature, a winamp-branded deezer subscription and client, with the traditional local play and customization and what-not still part of the ‘free’ program (presumably… details are scarce).

    but… i left winamp years ago. i won’t go back. i have playlists sorted and can just use vlc these days. idc about customizing or visualizations and that shit. i just want a player to sit in the background and do its thing. there’s dozens of acceptable programs without a subscription sales pitch built in.

  • preferable by public transit

    good call, driving into the city was hell when i lived there in the 90s and it’s only gotten worse.

    the trains are great if one goes where you need it to. so i guess the absolute first thing to do is check the service maps for washington metro as well as vre/marc (commuter rail). if her office is near a station, that can quickly narrow down possible locations to near stations on the same line(s).

    many of the suburban metro stations were designed to commute to themselves (park and rides), with lots of parking, bike racks and lockers, and kiss-and-ride (drop-off) lanes. some of the city stations have housing on the same block or literally right above them, even.

    i’d shy away from alexandria for now, cuz that’s where amazon is building “hq2” (that’s along the blue/yellow metro in va).
