It's a pity that it happened to a damn good audio player too.

From BetaNews:

Death Knell Sounds for Nullsoft, Winamp

The last members of the original Winamp team have said goodbye to AOL and the door has all but shut on the Nullsoft era, BetaNews has learned.

Only a few employees remain to prop up the once-ubiquitous digital audio player with minor updates, but no further improvements to Winamp are expected.

Two alternative players were suggested in the comments: FooBar 2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) and Quintessential Player (http://www.quinnware.com/)

That's terrible news, but I've been using ITunes since they turned to the dark side (with the windoze version)...

We'll miss WinAmp, especially with the sqrsoft crossfade plugin :(
