AOL Sells Winamp to Radionomy

Some more detail on the fate of Winamp and Shoutcast, the legacy digital music services that owner AOL (which also owns TechCrunch) originally planned to shut down but then halted pending a sale. They are not being bought by Microsoft, as we had heard when we first reported news of a sale. The properties are instead being acquired by Radionomy — an international aggregator of online radio stations headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.

Well this is semi-good and semi-bad. I wonder what will become of Winamp with Radionomy in control of it...really wished it went open source.

I don't use winamp since 2000.

 

So I’m not even mad, but i too think that they should go open-source.

I've never heard of them..

Might bring some improvements to Shoutcast. Winamp though, can still burn in hell.

Ohhh shoutcast.. I've loved the hours I've spent trying to get it up and running and having it broken the next week.

Aol still exists? I know a guy who collected their cds from everyone he knew so his kid could use them as toys.
