Saying Goodbye to Winamp with One Last Spin Read more: Saying Goodbye to Winamp with One Last Spin
Effective December 20, Winamp will officially pass away. AOL is giving up on the media player it acquired in 1999, and will no longer host the software on Winamp.com.
Perhaps you heard the news, shed a tear of nostalgia, made an off-hand llama-whipping joke
and moved on. Winamp deserves more than that. This is a legendary piece
of software whose responsibility for the digital music revolution goes
hand-in-hand with Napster. Illegal file sharing services merely provided
the tunes. Winamp let us play them.
As AOL has been gracious enough to give us a month’s notice before yanking Winamp from its servers, it’s only appropriate to give the 16 year-old MP3 software another listen.
