AOL decided to shut down Winamp for good (read the news HERE). It’s another proof that the future belongs to free open source applications that people are working together to improve endlessly, without any money ties or other contingent conditions which would slow down the progress of software!

winamp should have taken the path followed by LibreOffice

Since this isn’t really a question, I’m going to move it to the general
chit-chat forum. NNTP users, please take note.

Thread move is now complete.
You can only whip a llama for so long before it just dies, RIP.

It is one of software that in my opinion deserved a better death. This
is unbelievable.

I fail to see the importance of this development…
Well winamp was dead for years now, the only thing I liked it on was my android (I find most of androids multimedia players lacklustrer and hope for a replacement)
I could swear there was a petition somewhere asking AOL to release the code.
If you use Windows, there’s a literal replacement for it; AIMP: Home Page
It’s even more flexible in its skinning than Winamp was so if you want to… I don’t know, have some really weird skins - that’s the player for you.

There is, but I don’t know that they’ll be able to because it plays MP3s
back - they may use encumbered code.

Have a look at Rockbox - there are unofficial Android builds - I first
started using it on an iPod mini years ago.
