“Winamp.com and Web services will no longer be available from next December 21, the same date will not be able to download the media player. Thank you for Winamp supported for over 15 years. ” A few words on red background, featured on the website of the famous breeding program files. Words that put an end to the experience of what was perhaps the media player most successful.
“Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available for past December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be available for download. Please download the latest version before That dates. See the release notes for latest improvements to this last release. Thanks for supporting the Winamp community for over 15 years. ” This is the exact text that stands out for a few days at the top of the site winamp.com. An announcement came on the sly but which soon made us feel its echo in the web. No real problem for those who want to continue to listen to music or watch movies via pc, programs with the same functions of winamp there are in fact dozens of them, but a bit of nostalgia for a program of its kind, has made history the web.
Nullsoft, the company behind Winamp, has not provided an official explanation as to why we have come to the decision to close. Some blogs talk about bad management and an irresponsible management by AOL, a corporation that seems to have little care about the needs of their users and that time is the owner of Winamp. Another argument, certainly less controversial and certainly not without foundation, is the one that is in competition the real reason for the “death” of Winamp. Programs with the same functions as in fact there are now many and all operating systems will have more than decent default.
ends so well, in less than a month, a story that started 15 years ago, back in 1997. Since then millions of users have downloaded the application celebrated, even when applications were called programs, and its interface has been synonymous with music for a long time in conjunction with the computer. It was the almost complete coincidence with the explosion of file-sharing and the arrival of the Mp3 to determine the lucky fate of Winamp, as well as its graphic quality and functional, the ability to implement the reader through countless plug-in and the ability to read many types of media files.
