Death Knell Sounds for Nullsoft, Winamp
By Nate Mook, BetaNews

The last members of the original Winamp team have said goodbye to AOL and the door has all but shut on the Nullsoft era, BetaNews has learned.

Only a few employees remain to prop up the once-ubiquitous digital audio player with minor updates, but no further improvements to Winamp are expected.

It's a really sad tale.....
I loved it so much...

But I think that Winamp has reached the saturation point of it's perfection...
So no more updates are required...
The v5 will rule for a long long time....

Winamp is the playa who revolutionized skinning... in fact the first thing get skinned was I think Winamp... the grand grand father of all GUI eye candy we see today.... lol

I think Winamp will live... forever :)
