              People still used Winamp? I remember using that in 1999 or 2000

                  Free version was too good maybe, or just AOL mismangement?

                      Why? If i owned winamp I would not close down, I would try to monetize.. Last resort - selling it.

                          I used to use Winamp a long, long time ago. Didn't know it was still around.

                                      Something similar for me until a buddy at one of my old jobs asked me why the hell I was using Windows Media Player instead of Winamp; it was simply because I'd forgotten about it.

                                                                                                                                                              I'm risking my life here, but since this is GFY...AOL are Illuminiati you see


                                                                                                                                                              Winamp was a good quality free product i.e. had to be stopped. Without making it too obvious they had to kill it off, slowly but surely making sure that it wasn't a success, allowing other Illuminati controlled players to take control of the market Windows Media Center to be a paid upgrade in Windows 8, eventually we will be left with no choice but to pay for a decent media player. The player will make tonne of money and will also report details of exactly what we watch and listen to.

                                                                                                                                                                                  if you can't hear difference in quality (in the same song) between winamp and media player you have a serious problem, maybe thats why they failed?

                                                                                                                                                                                  Really? I don't have high priced anything but I have always thought that the sound was fine with winamp. You'll get some distortion if you use the built in booster.. very rarely I've heard some with the volume slider over 95% as well, but not often.
