WinAmp's Death Greatly Exaggerated
robyannetta writes "In a previous story, we heard that WinAmp was
down for the count. Apparently, this is not the case.
Here is a note by Eric Caoili that says "No we weren't axed. We haven't even seen anyone with an axe. There was this one guy who came up to us to axe us a question, but that's about it.""
You first post stealing motherfucker! Mod this son of a bitch down, you cock sucking first post stealing m0n blowing motherfuckers! Fuck! You god damn wasted the first fucking post on this shit, you cock blower motherfuckers!!! Cunt bags! I hate you, seanadams.com, you are on my FUCKING ENEMIES list. FUCK YOU!
eh0d is EVERYBODYS daddy now. TekMonkey (649444): Can a moderator or admin ban this guy? Just look at his record.
It's a media player. There are a bunch of them available, not to mention one built directly into Windows which runs on at least 80% of the computers out there (where someone would be interested/able to listen/watch media files).
Winamp is an application that has reached commodity status. Inifinitely replaceable. Cheap, to the point of being free.
And to top it off, we've got the source. What more do you need. Even if 100% of those developers were laid off, what's the loss to the community? Nuthin.
Does anybody really give two shits about Winamp? WMP is soooooooo much better than that piece of dogcrap.
Flamebait? Go ahead. See if I care.
It may be true that winamp is loosing market. I've actally switched over to WMP9 (i dont like 10, its too clunky [may also be chunky..]). WMP9 is pretty fast and does what i need it to with minimal bs... I dunno whats happening.
It's a bloated spywarefilled piece of crap and has been since version 3. I'm still running 2.91. It's funny because every time I run it, it says there's a critical security flaw in version's 3 to 5 and I should upgrade. It's an mp3 player, how can it have critical secuity flaws? That very neatly draws the line of exactly where it died.
