[End of an Era] Winamp is Shutting Down on December 20, 2013
Winamp was one of the most popular, most downloaded and widely used media players available for Windows operating system. In good ol’ days of Windows XP, almost all Windows users were aware of this small media player and used to install it in their computers to listen their favorite songs. It was one of the best media players and became famous due to its clean and minimal UI, lightweight program and very light on system resources.
Everyone was disappointed by the announcement but then in 2014 a good news arrived on Internet that another company “Radionomy” bought Nullsoft brand (which included Winamp and SHOUTcast).
Radionomy relaunched the Winamp website and made Winamp available for download again to public. The last stable version of Winamp which was available for download on official Winamp website was version 5.66.
Recently a new beta version of Winamp 5.8 leaked on Internet which contained many improvements and changes such as full compatibility with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating systems.
Many people started downloading the leaked build. Finally Radionomy decided to release the beta version officially on Winamp website for public so that no one needs to download the leaked version.
