Winamp, popular media player, to shut shop next month
Winamp, an iconic media player from the nineties, will cease
to exist from December 20, with its owner AOL deciding to shut down the
service. AOL, which runs the popular media player, has announced that it will
shut down Winamp.com and its associated web services. Its last version (Winamp
5.66) was released yesterday. Winamp was developed by Justin Frankel and Dmitry
Boldyrev in 1997 as a freeware. Winamp was one of the first common music
players on Windows. Initially developed for Windows, Winamp now offers betas
for Android and Mac OS X and an alpha version for Linux as well.
