Ooo... That's actually a really neat idea. I didn't think of that (but the don't have kids and never look at those gumball machines in the stores).

... Polls show that 9 out of 6 schizophrenics agree.

I remember as a child there was some pink or purple sweet tart type powdered candy that came in a platic test tube with a cap. My mother and sister had lipstick covers that also could've made a cool looking tube like device.

Last year I saw a modernized version of a nixie tube. Instead of heater elements in the shape of numbers stacked in a tube, there were several layers
of plexiglas with different numbers etched in them and stacked. Each layer had it's own tiny led, an only that specific slide would show.

Ya, I remember those too. I also remember candy lip stick. Never tried it, though. Must have had cooties on it. 8)

I picked up a kit for one of those from Banggood not too long ago. Looks and works really nice. They are called Lixie Tubes. There was a guy on Tindie that was selling individual ones for projects.

VLC is what I use most of the time. I also use VLC with bluetooth to play music from my phone in the car.

I played with one called Clementine. It's cross-platform
Linux/Windows (don't remember if it had a Mac client) and
consolidated Shoutcast and lots of other streaming services,
podcasts, and MP3/ogg playback. I liked it.

I used xmms for a long time. Nowadays I have ampache running on an old workstation on my rack. I stream my music. Lately, though, I've been streaming clicktunes off bottomless abyss bbs radio. Good stuff.

That BBS probably also has its own Shoutcast media server or something streaming internet radio.

I should've been more clear. It's a streaming station hosted by the sysop of bottomless abyss,
