Winamp being discontinued in a month's time
AOL announced that anything Winamp related will be shut down on December 20, 2013.
The last version of the program was released recently, but will be taken down on the shut down date.

Although I don't use Winamp anymore, it was a pretty awesome player in the early days, and still has some unique features. Hopefully they'll decide to open source it.

I still use it when MediaMonkey is being an unstable POS. Sad to see it go.

I still use Winamp in general :I
Although if Microsoft is taking it over, I guess that's good news.

Dang that sucks. A piece of software history is gone :(. Can't say it'll affect me much though, since I really only used windows media player then switched to Foobar2k ages ago.

If MS takes over, hopefully they won't screw it up.
Winamp 2 was legendary, then AOL took over... At least they fixed up most of the poo poo with Winamp 5 though.
I still would've preferred if they could open source it though, like AOL did with Netscape. The OSS community should be able to make good use of it.
