    As the official site mentioned - Winamp will not be available after December 20 , 2013. I have no idea why they toke this decision but for sure I was one of the users of this great software for the last 15 years. I got it from the beta version when was NullSoft 100%.

    Nothing to say - I have to stick with my iTunes now :(

    I haven't used Winamp for a while. I forget about them until I have some strange file that pops it up. I never did like their player much seems like it never evolved into much.

    They have a link to AOL on their main page. Evolve or die, lol

    Hi @RosuC ...Thanks for the information. Still using it til now. I just love it...So sad after 15 years of service. Maybe they will be temporarily unavailable right? Or they'll have some upgrades . What do you think?

    I'm still using Winamp - low resources requested, good and versatile playlist. I don't need an application that is loading in 3 mins and needs Internet connection to work.

    @everythinglore I think that AOL wants to push their own product so they decided to stop to develop further Winamp.

    I've signed the petition asking AOL to retain Winamp (http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/aol-keep-winamp-alive-or-let-it-go-open-source), 6,503 NEEDED signatures needed still, but I've also been reading about Microsoft might acquire Winamp :) Let's make sure we download the latest version by 20 Dec 2013.

    Has anyone got a recommendation for a decent media player on android then? I've been using winamp on the desktop since the late nineties and then on android (mainly because I was just familiar with it!). It looks like now may well be the time to seek out alternatives (while we wait for the llama to recover!)
