- graeme 13y agoI knew they were still a big company, but I didn't know about their recent uptick. What's going on there?
- stevenrace 13y agoI had hoped some HN'ers would end up purchasing it. There was a fairly long string of comments pledging funds [1]. I'm curious how that panned out - in both terms of informal croudsourcing and how one negotiates with AOL-TW.

- yoran 13y agoOn Windows, I'm still using Winamp as of today because I haven't found an alternative of equal quality. Not sure why though considering that Winamp is so old, at least enough time to develop a good alternative!

- kevin_rubyhouse 13y agoSo Microsoft didn't want Winamp and Shoutcast bad enough?
- thrillgore 13y agoSo Winamp's delay has been postponed by a year or two. Okay.
