    With iTunes taking over the world, they really didn't have much of a chance...

    However, there are uses for Winamp, and it is still pretty cool.

    wmp10 is good for ripping, but none of them load as fast as winamp 2 does!

    you double click on the mp3 and band! it's playing, all the others have to load the program up first...

    i'm sticking with winamp!

    I think it will be a good couple of years till I stop using Winamp. It's not like it will deactivate now that Nullsoft is disbanded.

    I wish them all the best with their future careers.

    You all know what will happen. AOL will continue to make winamp but no doubt include aol icq with it and aim and make you install a bucket load of spyware. Shame though as I liked winamp
