I still have like 250mb worth of old skins, although I use none of them. I just use the default classic skin. :mmm:

This is sad. I used to use Winamp a lot between 2003-2005, but since discovering Jetaudio, no other player has matched up! But Winamp's been a consistent back up! RIP Winamp you've served us well! raise:

Glad that Winamp lives on!!! Have also been using it since Win98 days!!! In fact, my old desktop PC is still running Winamp versions 2.81! Loved the older Winamp style of those years and the various skins etc.

The best MP3 player ever is shutting down

Been using it daily for around 15 years!, wayy before dial up, Napster, AudioGalaxy, mIRC and Kazaa. When you could only get digital music from a connected friend on a cd or rip the cd yourself.

This app alone made me appreciate and love music.

With last.fm it was perfect!

If you had a PC and you listened to MP3s in the late 90s, chances are you managed your playlists with Winamp. Since then, Nullsoft sold Winamp to AOL for $80 million and online music has changed quite a bit, but there was always something reassuring about the fact that Winamp was still hanging in there. So much for that. Winamp is shutting down. The website and all of Winamp’s web services will shut down on December 20 and the desktop player will no longer be available for download.

Even if you don’t remember Winamp, you may remember the demo MP3 that played when you installed the app: “Winamp, it really whips the llama’s ass.”

Winamp was integrated with SHOUTcast for streaming radio and also once found use as a podcatcher. All that aside, Winamp appears to have reached the height of success in 2005 when the user base grew to more than 52 million. But while the software will only be going away for good in December 2013, it seems the writing on the wall may have began 10 years earlier, in 2003. That was when Winamp saw a near-simultaneous departure of both Justin Frankel and the original development team. As a result, Winamp (Nullsoft) became a division of AOL Music
