Winamp farewell: the media player will close on 21 ... - The Messenger

After more than 15 years one of the most popular multimedia players of all time, Winamp, closes its doors. The announcement was made the same Nullsoft, the company that operates the service, and talking: “ Winamp.com and Web services will no longer be available from next December 21, the same date will no longer be possible to download media playe r ‘.

Is this a sign of the inexorable passage of time on the web, which is evolving so quickly that become obsolete something that looked futuristic only a short time ago. Indeed, in reality Winamp has resisted too, for several years now that all devices and operating systems come with their own multimedia players. Eventually, though, he had to give way.

Many accuse the other hand AOL, the company that owns Winamp, mismanagement. But maybe I’m just nostalgic.
