They should open source at least.

mcandmar · Nov 20, 2013 at 8:16 PM

Strange the lack of explanation. Mind you i gave up on winamp and switched to foobar, never looked back..

I simply can not stand for this! Why is my number 1 player going the way of the dodo bird all of a sudden?

Anything AOL touches goes to ****.That includes AOL itself.

Some sweet memories of recording Minidiscs with a Winamp plugin that used to pause the next track by 4 seconds to enable sync recording.

Why? I don't know.

Probably not enough profit.

Try MusicBee instead, it's very good and free. Supports winamp plugins too.

Sad news and I am becoming sentimental as Winamp was my first ever PC music player.

I loved Milkdrop visualization, too. Actually because of Milkdrop I still have Winamp installed on my computer. I use it only occassionally as I prefer the sound from Foobar or J.River Media Centre.

BTW on which other player can I use Milkdrop?

Have you tried the foobar2000 plugin http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_vis_shpeck?

It's a little buggy right now, but Milkdrop is being ported to JRiver: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82551.0
