Sad news about the player we love to hate.

Winamp and its site winamp.com will be closing down on December 20.

What will this mean to the other players out there? foobar2000 and even Resonic may benefit from this.
As always, it's sad when someone/something goes away.

Even though it evolved to something you wouldn't hope for today, it was still the pioneer in the MP3 player division.
And many other followed after it.
Thanks to Winamp3 being what it was, one man, that helped creating it, made a player on his own as he didn't liked what Winamp3 turned out to be, he named it foobar2000.

Many years later, Tom created Resonic, which has very big potential to become a great player, and even more so, now.

Hope for all the best!

Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be available for download. Please download the latest version before that date. See release notes for latest improvements to this last release.
Thanks for supporting the Winamp community for over 15 years.

This is semi related to Resonic, couldn't find any other section to post it in.

Kinda sad to see it go - we've all basically grown up with Winamp. It started going down the drain when AOL bought it and Justin had left the team, but look what he has created since then.

So not really a bad thing after all to just stick to ideas.

The same 4 me ... i think that was a 2.95 ...the fastest one ...).. the last version before AOL ... after ...
it was a different product ...
and Justin still rocks ... Hes Reaper is amazing ... another great product 4 long time ...
