Nytro Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 [h=1]Winamp shutting down after over 15 years[/h]By Jacob Kastrenakes on November 20, 2013 02:42 pmThe famous media player Winamp will shut down next month, over 15 years after its initial release. Though Winamp eventually lost popularity, in the late '90s and early 2000s it was one of the go-to media players for listening to local music or radio streams. In 2002, Winamp's maker, Nullsoft, was acquired by AOL for over $80 million in stock, where it's remained in development until now. A Mac and an Android version were even released in recent years, though they never found the same fan base that its customizable Windows client did. No reason is given for Winamp's shutdown, but its popularity has certainly waned: simple, built-in audio solutions like iTunes are now ubiquitous across platforms, making Winamp a far more specialized app. In a retrospective published last year, Ars Technica reported that Winamp had existed for years on life support, but that those involved didn't believe it was dead yet. Now that it's nearly gone, those who want to relive old times should head over to Winamp's site before December 21st, when it'll no longer be available — its famous motto, of course, will always live on somewhere.Sursa: Winamp shutting down after over 15 years | The VergeCe viata de cacat. 1 Quote
Zatarra Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 Cand te gandeai prin 2003-2005 ca puteai sa bagi mana in foc ca nu exista program mai smecher ca Winamp . Trist dar adevarat, eu consider ca asta e cel mai mare challenge din ziua de astazi, sa rezisti schimbarilor in timp, cum a facut Coca Cola si IBM spre exemplu. Quote
eusimplu Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 Extrem de trist cand iti dai seama ca un program cu un asa mare succes dispare Quote

Silviu Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Pai cui i-a placut, nu vad de ce nu il poate folosi in continuare! Quote
TheTime Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Nu face nimeni o copie website-ului? Ar aduce ceva trafic in continuare...Nici nu trebuie sa va bateti capul cu drepturi de autor, site-ul poate fi "in memoriam", link-uri de download externe. In fine, doar o idee pentru cine nu are ce face. Quote
Syckchet Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Eu unu nu voi renunta la Winamp, a fost, este si va fi cel mai bun media player, asta-i parerea mea si nu o v-a schimba nimeni. Il voi folosi pana cand nu vor mai merge setup-urile . Ideea lui TheTime nu-i rea ^^^ . Quote

TheTime Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Se pare ca cei de la Microsoft sunt pe aceeasi lungime de unda cu noi Daca oferta a venit dupa anuntul oficial de inchidere, atunci nu cred ca va fi un pret prea mare de achizitie... Quote
