I doubt it, but the odd HTML in the title and lack of any other information makes me doubt it's authenticity.

I'd pitch in towards the $20 a year for the domain + vps.
Pitch in to archive all of their releases or a donation to Archive Team[1] to archive all of their releases. [1] http://www.archiveteam.org/
I just switched back to Winamp after getting fed up with the latest release of iTunes. At least it's a real application that I can download and own for myself, and doesn't stop working just because it's no longer being supported. This is a great example of why I don't move all my data to the cloud, or use browser-based apps for things that matter to me. Hopefully they'll release the codebase to the world.
> This is a great example of why I don't move all my data to the cloud Music is a great use-case for keeping data in the cloud. You can have a consistent music library and can use any player client-side. Personally I prefer the spotify "all-you-can-listen" model, but I have a bunch of MP3s that aren't on spotify that I seamlessly stream from dropbox (either to winamp or the spotify client, which allows you to sync lo…
Yes, but ideally, when it's your cloud. Just because all these major cloud players can just stop their service on their whim.

Why winamp? my understanding is that it's long been surpassed by other apps, i.e. foobar, even VLC

If you're a linux user then 'audacious' is a good/similar replacement to winamp IMHO.
I switched to using quodlibet some time ago. Can't remember why (simplicity, the right views, stuff) but now everything else seems sucky.

foobar is a bit... bare bones imho... and neither it or VLC have the shoutcast stream listing services... which will be an issue without winamp. :-(
iTunes and Windows Media Player are both monstrosities, and while I appreciate VLC for playing video, I've never been inclined to use it as a music player.
Wow, the end of an era. Maybe it's just that it's what I learned to use first, but for a scattered library of downloaded music across multiple languages, etc., I still haven't found a clearly better solution. It was trivial and fast to find the songs I was looking for, either by filename or by ID3 data, and get them playing. I suppose that it turns out the world has changed and this isn't how most people consume musi…
MediaMonkey [1] is awesome to find something. It's mainly a music organizer that just happens to be able to play music but it works great even with scattered single mp3 files. Autoplaylists [2], scriptable and extensive search options. Been using it for over 6 years now and never looked back :) [1] http://www.mediamonkey.com [2] Autoplaylists are only available for the Gold version.
I always used Winamp on Windows, so when I switched to Linux I tried basically every single open-source alternative that worked with my workflow: Per-song ratings, a nested Genre/Artist/Album/Song library browser, global hotkeys, able to handle a collection of >100 GB and a useful playlist/queue system. For anyone else looking for the same thing: the one that I ended up choosing was http://gmusicbrowser.org/ . See ht…
I did the same thing, ended up with cmus: http://cmus.sourceforge.net/
