    Terms of the deal were not officially disclosed, but TechCrunch, which first reported on the rumours of the acquisition, said that the deal is worth between $5- and $10-million, with AOL taking a 12% stake in Radionomy.
    They were happy to can Winamp, but AOL still wants a financial stake in it?

    They're not just gonna give away their IP for free, even if they dont want to support it anymore.

    I'm really happy about this. I think that WinAmp will come out stronger than ever. That Llama's ass really will be thoroughly whipped.

    Radionomy will also give Winamp listeners access to its networks of online radio stations.
    Looking forward to this the most!

    They only exist when there is someone they can screw out of money somewhere and when all is said and done they throw them to the cerb.

    Winamp was a step child to them and now that someone else is willing to look after it and make something out of it again they want a claim and get profit. in my feel they should have given it to Radionomy, i mean they did kill it officially last year so why now show interest again

    But i'm glad it's getting a second life it's the only player i use for my music
