Winamp to shut down December 20, 2013. Get the latest version if you want it.

Such a shame. Time was when that was one of the first things that got loaded on a new PC. It was on my "must have" list for years.
Guess that llama finally hit back huh?

As it says here: http://www.winamp.com/media-player/en
Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be available for download. Please download the latest version before that date.

Why do companies insist on "shutting down" rather than keeping "minimal services" like a Download Last Page?
Coming from the Abandonware vs Copyright discussion, just find a file host willing to just make the download available with a "farewell" page.

They don't have to. Someone else is already doing it and has for quite awhile.

The biggest issue with Winamp though is all the cool skins and plugins that will become a lot more difficult to find, now, which is why I think that Winamp developer is setting up that forum, to take the place of the official forum when it gets shut down.

Just FYI - the "Go Pro" link is dead. Clicking on the "Free Download" link gets you winamp566_full_en-us.exe...

Coming soon, from a former Winamp developer who has every intention to keep developing plugins for it: http://winampforum.com/

@app - Looks like the Winamp forum has been purged sometime between your post and now. :'(
