Winamp to shut down next month

The era of Winamp is about to end! After entertaining over 15 years Winamp media player will close the operation on December 20. The announcement made on the Winamp website on Wednesday, confirming the speculation.

In its first 5 years Winamp media player ruled the entertainment media but could not sustain momentum after being acquired by AOL in 1999. And techies across the spectrum are pointing their fingers at AOL mismanagement for Winamp debacle. Although Winamp tried to bounce back with Android and Mac versions in 2010 and 2011, but failed miserably as their action was ‘too little, too late’.

As Winamp is ready to say goodbye, music-lovers have only one more month to download the free Winamp media player before it vanish into history.
