Winamp isn't EOL just yet

Winamp isn't EOL just yet

Winamp media player and its associated website were supposed to be shut down by its owners at AOL on Friday, December 20th. That deadline has come and gone and, lo and behold, both are still up and running as of this writing. This fact would seem to lend credence to rumors that AOL is in serious talks with a company that would in theory acquire Winamp. The thinking is that the negotiations would give the site and the software a stay of execution until the deal is finalized. So far, the only company that has been named as a possible buyer is Microsoft.

For its part, AOL has been completely silent about the future of Winamp beyond the December 20th deadline notice that was posted a month ago.

One of the Winamp team members confirmed on Twitter that something is happening but no new updates arrived since Saturday.

I bet its not going to be called Winamp anymore... going to rebrand it so people using mac and linux will use it more... This was my thought from the first time i herd them saying winamp is no more. the name winamp is going eol and something new, updated and using resources. Watch and see, makes sense..

Rumor is that someone is trying to buy WinAmp...but nobody seems to know who.

I gave up on WinAmp years ago when I discovered MPC....

I hope Winamp stay alive. It's been part of the internet for so long, it would be a shame to see it disappear.
