But but but! Winamp is better than WMP! Quick someone push them onto kickstarter and get them going again!
 
Wow. End of an era. I don't really use Winamp anymore to be honest but I will be sure to grab that latest version.
 
Well in all honesty I still use winamp till this day call me old fashioned but i like it. Some of the most epic skins for a music player was made for winamp

It will be missed
 
I still use winamp. Though I never used it for the radio just for my own music.
 
Woah! I've been using Winamp since I downloaded my first MP3, and I'm still using it today. It's part of my fond memories growing up with PCs and learning how to use them, LANs, parties, always Winamp was there keeping me company.

This really is the end of an era :/

I wonder what will happen to Shoutcast?

Glad i'm not the only one james your making me think back to so many LAN parties now.........those were the days.
 
Never was a great fan.

Was fine for what it was/is worth, however,
always resorted to using MediaMonkey, and then foobar2000 instead.
 
What about the poor Llama? Now this makes me feel old, I remember using winamp betas at lan parties and freaking out when winamp 3D skins were introduced.

Well this sucks...
 
Damn, that's sad.

Still use Winamp, used it even before it was a thing, hell I even use Audacious and XMMS before that on my Linux boot because I am so use to the Winamp skins/look.

Guess I need to mirror the classic skins on my HD now before its all lost foreva.....

Edit: Forgot to mention, I am still rocking 2.95 could never get a liking into the new skin/look oh yeah and all that bloat....

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it. I pretty much only use winamp (other than to rip stuff, for that I use Itunes). Does anyone know of any good, viable alternatives?
 
Good night, sweet prince.

Winamp ushered in my interest in music, way back in 98/99, along with a cd full of mp3's that I got from a friend. With that, I started listening to more and more music, to the point where I wanted to make some myself. I played with eJay (thank you, PC Format!), and I picked up an old guitar. I got guitar pro, tabs.co.za, saved up for an electric and amp, ultimate-tabs.com, harmony-central.com, and the abominations that are /r/music and /r/guitar.

I've played in bands, in church, by myself, to myself, at parties, in studio's, in theatres, and in clubs, and my entire musical journey can be traced back to getting winamp and a handful of shitty mp3's from that friend.

It's been a good ride, friend llama. It's been good.
 
But mommy i don't want to use itunes it's from the devil!!! :p

i don't like apple i'll stay with my trusty old winamp til it blows it's last breath
 
I only recently started using it after I read it had a good auto tag function - I hate it when my files aren't tagged but hate doing it.

All my friends swear by it.
 
I wont lie i used to lvoe winamp jsut for that docked bar but i recently instaleld it again and found it so slow and sluggish not to mention everytime i tried to go to the playlist it would take me to the web browser page first
