It's my fault. I've been using iTunes since I got my iPod because I didn't like the way Winamp handled copying files to it. (though I could discern a noticeable quality drop in some files when playing them in iTunes.)

So sad. When I was a PC user I had so many fond memories of WinAmp. Truly the end of an era.

RIP.

I still use it.

Me too! :(

I guess with the advent of enhanced built-in OS multimedia players the exclusive music player is a dying breed.

Fuck AOL and iTunes (just 'cause).

I used it for years. Been using Foobar for the last while though, and I actually do use itunes a lot now (ew).

Winamp 2 is still my standard player.  Such sad news.
