 |  Winamp's decline chronicled More than 15 years have passed since Winamp was first released. The media player software was incredibly popular in its heyday and still receives periodic updates. However, there hasn't been a major release since Winamp 5 came out way back in 2003. Ars Technica has posted a great article exploring the history of Winamp and its downfall, which as one might expect, began after parent company Nullsoft was acquired by AOL. A year after the acquisition, Winamp had more users than AOL had subscribers. As AOL faltered, Winamp's popularity continued to grow, reportedly peaking at 90 million users in 2007. http://techreport.com/discussions.x/23167 |
