Winamp Down for the Count
Artifex writes "BetaNews is reporting that the doors at Nullsoft have been closed: 'The last members of the original Winamp team have said goodbye to AOL and the door has all but shut on the Nullsoft era, BetaNews has learned. Only a few employees remain to prop up the once-ubiquitous digital audio player with minor updates, but no further improvements to Winamp are expected.'" The Register also has a story.
long live xmms!

Whoever is the first to wrap a good UI over Mplayer (So far all the guis have been buggy, less than optimal, or just generally sucks.)
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
A long time ago I use to think WinAMP was the bomb, and then I found Sonique, and found the sound quality far superior ( I use a pair of $500 stereo speakers). When I moved to Windows 2000 I found that Sonique was unstable, and was forced to move back WinAmp.
Well, Approx. 1 1/2 years ago I began using Linux -- Trying different distribution ( RedHat 9/ Fedora 1/2, Mandrake 9/9.1/10, and Suse 9.1 ) I found that will all the distributions the sound quality was leap & bound superior to anything on Windows. I don't know if this was XMMS or the sound system in Linux or what, but I knew there was a clear quality difference.
Anyways, I'm still forced to use Windows because of my job, but I have not been able to find a GOOD audio player -- Quintessential is the best I've found, and the audio quality is not much better than WinAmp
You probably mean semi-annually.
Bi means two. Biannually means every two years. Semi means half. Semi-annually means every half year or, as you were thinking of it, twice a year.
Now back to your usual grammar-nazi-free programming...
Great idea! Let me know when you're done.
Oh, you meant someone else should do it, didn't you? From someone advocating open source, why am I not surprised?
