Ugh! This has been my number one media player since I have started using computers. It is still what I use 90% of the time when I listen to music. Hopefully they will make a special last version, instead of just fading out.
goodbye Winamp

Ditto here and very sad to see it go.

To be honest, I am glad to see it go since its has been so commercialized and bloatware. Foobar2000 is the player for me for this decade. We will miss you Winamp!

PS - For the love of God, somebody respond to my Amiga post

Alzabo, what Amiga post?

i mostly use XMPlay for my listening needs. it's small and portable. it's also compatible with most Winamp plugins. though one downside is that it dosen't play video files.
you can find it here:

Foobar2000 is also the player for me.
But Winamp you sure will be remembered.

it was. Winamp will continue on, hopefully under better direction than AOL had with it.

contrary to what freewarefiles says, this version of winamp is not compatible with windows 2000. believe me, i've tried to install this version on my win2k computer and the installer said " This version of Windows is no longer supported. Winamp 5.666 requires a minimum of Windows XP or newer."
