Winamp Purchased By Radionomy 188
Major Blud writes "TechCrunch is reporting that Radionomy has purchased both Winamp and Shoutcast from AOL for $5-10 million and a 12% stake in the company. Radionomy CEO Alexandre Saboundjian said, 'We want to rebuild the story for Winamp. We think the future can be great because the strategy is not just desktop but mobile and cars and so much more.'"

I have no problem with VLC for music, but Winamp has been a favorite for years.
Yeah, its old and funky, and that's exactly why I like it.

Same here... Actually Winamp is my favourite player for Android and probably the only Android app I've plopped somewhat serious money for (including the lyric and album-art download plugin)
Though if you like VLC for music, check out http://www.clementine-player.org/ [clementine-player.org] , which is cross platform, still uses VLC code for the backend, and adds a pretty nice frontend interface with crossfading between tracks and streams. My only complaint is that the interface doesn't shrink down to as small as Winamp / Audacious can.
Lies, I bought it last year. (Score:3, Interesting)
