Winamp Shutting Down On December 20

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday November 20, 2013 @08:15AM from the llama-finally-whipped-back dept.

New submitter Cid Highwind writes "If you want to download the latest version of Winamp, you'd better do it soon. According to a new banner on the download page, AOL will be pulling the plug on the iconic llama-whipping music player in a month. 'Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be available for download. Please download the latest version before that date. See release notes for latest improvements to this last release. Thanks for supporting the Winamp community for over 15 years.' Ars Technica ran an article last year detailing how the music player lost its dominance."

Try managing 150000+ files on Winamp and tell me how it goes. Now try that again with Foobar.
I'll try that just as soon as I've earned enough concussions to be either enough of a hoarding audiophile or a douchebag wannabe DJ* to have 150,000+ audio files that absolutely NEED to be cataloged. Meanwhile, here in the other almost-all of the human population, we need a slightly more relevant, real-world reason.
*: The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
