Bye bye Winamp
AOL Axes Nullsoft
As if forcing Nullsoft to unleash the unfinished Winamp 3 on the masses wasn't enough, AOL have now more or less killed the entire Nullsoft team leaving little chance of us ever seeing further development on the greatest media player available for windows.
Yet another reason to hate anything and everything related to AOL.

Re: Bye bye Winamp
Just to make it clear, Winamp remains the property of AOL, so no further development happens unless AOL say so.
And if they do say so, it'll likely be shit. Can anyone say AIM integration, for example...

Re: Bye bye Winamp
well at least you can rely on AOL being crap... one to add to the certainties of life, along with Death and Taxes and M$ bugs

AOL Time Warner is an evil company.

Re: Bye bye Winamp
Winamp is owned by AOL? Good job I don't use it much.

Re: Bye bye Winamp
This is a pretty sad thing to find out, I really love Winamp, although they may not need any further development since v5 seems to do everything it should do perfectly well.
I do fear any AOLised version would just shit all over its name.

Re: Bye bye Winamp
Remember kiddies, Netscape was owned by AOL for a while. Mozilla seems to have done a lot better recently
