I anticipate that Winamp will continue to limp along for a little while longer. With minor bug fixes and updates for some time to come. Over the long term, I anticipate Winamp’s identity will change to fit the goals of those at AOL who don’t really care what Winamp means to the millions of our loyal followers.
A sad day. Windows Media Player for everyone, it seems.

There’s always iTunes ;-)

Doesn’t worry me either way: I use Rhythmbox. :) But yes, there’s iTunes for Windows people, I suppose…

Actually, I have an iPod, but I hate iTunes. Bloated and not usable. I need simple interface such as Winamp.
I’ve been using v2.80 for few years now and just switched to v2.95, since it’s support reading of ID tags for plugins better…
I have never used 3.0 (too bloated) or 5.0 (I guess same, never installed it).
I don’t actually need any new version, what for? MP3s are here for years and they stay. Winamp v2.80/2.95 is stable, full of features I need, nicely skinned etc.
So who needs AOL? Just use this link to download stable verison of Winamp and delete those bloated (AOL) new versions:
