Cross-posted in the Gaia C&T forums, the dA forums and doing this in my journal.

There are some sad news for those who still use Winamp. After more than 15 years, AOL made a difficult decision to shut down Winamp and any services associated with it in exactly one month from now (Friday, 20 December 2013). Winamp 5.66, for which it will be supported only until the shutdown date will the be the last release.

All web services associated with Winamp, including skins and plugins will no longer be available after this date.

Former Winamp employees are blaming the AOL mismanagement and the high costs of keeping the service online for the shutdown.

Rest in peace, Winamp. :(
