TECH NEWS: WinAmp calls it quits!

[RobertX]

Winamp promoting spy/adwares that's why it is failed, Also in my opinion it should be free and light like foobar

Agreed, but they needed money.

Here's another, but I didn't try this: https://www.aimp.ru/ AIMP Player

I've been using this for several years now. It works great!

I used to like Winamp, but I switched pretty much exclusively to VLC because of it being able to play most formats out of the box.

i'm with headbanger. i used to use winamp but got lazy and use vlc for music as well as video. i do miss the audio visualization though that comes with winamp. vlc has some but they don't compare to winamp's.
