    If I remember correctly, doesn't AOL own WinAmp?Could this be why they recently let go of most of the WinAmp progammers? So that they could take what they already have and turn it into their own with some extras thrown in?

    Seriously, does anyone remember the days when AOL was actually a unique, innovative company as opposed to a punchline?
