WinAmp's Death Greatly Exaggerated

Posted by samzenpus on from the lazarus dept.

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.""

    I can understand the iPod not being able to play WMA/OGG/FLAC/etc. for now due to limited CPU power (even though lots of other MP3 players can do it just fine), but I don't see any reason why iTunes shouldn't be able to play them.

    Just for the record:

    - iPod does play WMA just not that DRM crap.
    - Who uses OGG again ?
    - Apple has equivalent for FLAC .. AAC Lossless Encoding. So no reason to support it.
