boatBurner mentioned this on fb, thought I'd post it here..

Waving goodbye to Winamp, paying respects to Nullsoft | Crave - CNET

I can't remember for how long I used it, been years, but was definitely my first mp3 player. Nostalgia.

I wish I got into the skinning scene back then..

Here's my feeble attempt ;P

I did stop using it a few years ago when I bought my first Mac. I think I have used winamp since 1998 or something, nostalgia!
 
Musicmatch then Foobar for me. Did use the Winamp DSP bridge in Foobar though so I could use some DSP effects to make some of my live bootlegs sound better. Winamp's popularity initiated some great peripheral development.
 
I don't understand, why AOL shut it down?
Anyway RIP but i am going to still use it.
 
Damn winamp was the shit for a while. It was like firefox before chrome came out.
 
I still use Winamp. I must be one of the few people around who still listens to Shoutcast streams.
 
Winamp has saved millions from having to use that piece of shit Windows Media Player. I learned how to make custom XP install CDs just to save the trouble of removing WMP after install.

Lately I've been using VLC for video and Mixxx for audio.

Click to expand...

639,354 listeners right now according to shoutcast.com

I'm guessing that a lot of listeners aren't even very familiar with what Winamp or Shoutcast are. Sites such as somafm.com have become their own brands that people get referred to.


And here's a plug for the open source Icecast directory.
