anexsia · 11-20-2013, 04:56 PM

People still used Winamp? I remember using that in 1999 or 2000

wehateporn · 11-20-2013, 05:02 PM

Free version was too good maybe, or just AOL mismangement?

mineistaken · 11-20-2013, 05:05 PM

Why? If i owned winamp I would not close down, I would try to monetize.. Last resort - selling it.

Rochard · 11-20-2013, 05:07 PM

I used to use Winamp a long, long time ago. Didn't know it was still around.

Something similar for me until a buddy at one of my old jobs asked me why the hell I was using Windows Media Player instead of Winamp; it was simply because I'd forgotten about it.

skrog · 11-20-2013, 05:36 PM

I still use Winamp. Sad to see it go.

HomerSimpson · 11-20-2013, 05:53 PM

I remember that my computer running at 133MHz couldn't even play music in Winamp back at the days... It was ages ago... Too bad they're shutting it down...

Why? most people I know, including me, still use it for mp3 playing as well. Not a fan ow windows media player and VLC is better for movies because its not so convenient for mp3 as winamp.

It does not answer my question, rather confirms the validity of it. It is still making millions a year, why not leave it be?

I never stopped using winamp. I stream shoutcast radio stations, even in car while driving.

SlammedMedia · 11-20-2013, 07:39 PM

wow...I've been rocking the web for almost 20 years, and winamp has been there though most of them. It's a piece you don't want to see go.

woj · 11-20-2013, 07:50 PM

I've been using it since it pretty much came out... it's a solid piece of software... why would they shut it down?

so what's a good replacement anyway? is there really anything better with the same number of plugins, visualizations, etc?

Elli · 11-20-2013, 07:59 PM

Yep, I still use Winamp for my playlists and Shoutcast for radio. iTunes is just too frustrating.

DAMNMAN · 11-20-2013, 08:33 PM

Still use winamp too. Got it setup just the way I like it. Does everything I need.
Bummer

Deputy Chief Command · 11-20-2013, 08:42 PM

so , thats the official explanation? now gives us the truth? any conspiracy theories flowing around about this shutdown ? must be more to it then just them being utter crap

Lonny · 11-20-2013, 09:04 PM

Been using winamp since it;s early days. Started using a winamp clone called Audacious almost two years now.
http://audacious-media-player.org/
also runs on windows for you non linux heads for anyone thats intrested.

The Porn Nerd · 11-20-2013, 09:14 PM

There was a neat converting trick I used to use with Winamp, to convert FLAC files. You had to also use iTunes so it was clunky but 'old school' still works.

Sad to see Winamp go!

NinjaSteve · 11-20-2013, 10:29 PM

They should sell it to ICQ!

spunky99 · 11-20-2013, 11:06 PM

that sucks, i still use it, hate itunes

bdld · 11-20-2013, 11:45 PM

MrMaxwell · 11-21-2013, 12:06 AM

I still use the same version I had back in '99

I no longer use winamp but when i was using it was also version 2 which is much faster then version 5.Looks like aol manage to fuck almost anything they buy.Back in the days when installing new operating system winamp was first thing to install of essential apps.

adultchatpay · 11-21-2013, 02:44 AM

I still have my Winamp somewhere...

HomerSimpson · 11-21-2013, 02:49 AM

I'm risking my life here, but since this is GFY...AOL are Illuminiati you see

Winamp was a good quality free product i.e. had to be stopped. Without making it too obvious they had to kill it off, slowly but surely making sure that it wasn't a success, allowing other Illuminati controlled players to take control of the market Windows Media Center to be a paid upgrade in Windows 8, eventually we will be left with no choice but to pay for a decent media player. The player will make tonne of money and will also report details of exactly what we watch and listen to.

While I have just made that up off the top of my head, it's possible I've accidentally stumbled upon the truth

They buy the competition and they kill it!

Remember folks, you heard it first on GFY

Jesus what's next, WinRAR trial going to actually expire?

nico-t · 11-21-2013, 04:39 AM

im still using winamp too

Oracle Porn · 11-21-2013, 05:02 AM

anyone using winamp needs to check his hearing.

if you can't hear difference in quality (in the same song) between winamp and media player you have a serious problem, maybe thats why they failed?

That is just impossible. If that ever happens I will never use a computer again. I'm exaggerating. A little.

Really? I don't have high priced anything but I have always thought that the sound was fine with winamp. You'll get some distortion if you use the built in booster.. very rarely I've heard some with the volume slider over 95% as well, but not often.

tony286 · 11-21-2013, 06:59 AM

Im shocked they were still around. lol

alex.missyouth · 11-21-2013, 09:44 AM

I'm downloading the latest version, I still use it and it's awesome. My music library has about 3000 LPs.

k0nr4d · 11-21-2013, 11:46 AM

I still use it, and I still use the old skin with it.
