Thank you for this information. Winamp is not important for me but I worried about shoutcast.

I am a fan of Shoutcast, both the server and the directory...

Hopefully new ownership invests in Shoutcast and development.  It has stagnated for a long time.

me too I love their shoutcast

I love shoutcast, always have - I think the new ownership can potentially take it to new places and give it that overhaul it has needed for some time now.

Shoutcast is best around the world

Didn't WINAMP die, or got sold, or something? I liked that player, so retro

AOL sold Winamp to Radionomy I believe. Hopefully Shoutcast will continue to be the great server software that it is! I quit using Winamp when Spotify came out. I prefer paying $4.99/month rather than buying each individual song.

I thought it was over because of VLC and other players..

I don't remember when I started to use WinAmp, but I believe when it's still in beta. Long long time ago

For me, Shoutcast is best and I will recommend it.

UPDATE 11/04/2014 - sc_trans is not currently available to download due to licensing issues and it is uncertain if it will be made available again or not.

Really good article on why Nullsoft went from hero to zero on Ars Technica.

A lot of media players actually have pretty interesting histories. Here's an article by the guys at Panic about the rise and fall of their software Audion for Mac and how it almost became iTunes before Apple bought SoundJam.

I really hope that the acquisition and new development works out for the better -- I've been using WinAMP for well over a decade, and it's the one piece of software that continues to stick around. To see it shrink in feature set would be unfortunate.

Finally ! Some kick-in to that old bad ass player


VLC took over Wimamp is audience usage.
