Now before you say anything, I know Winamp isn't native to Linux (and yes, you can run it under Wine), but like most Linux users our there, you've probably had to run either a dual boot or dual systems with Windows boxen at some point. Back in the 90's I did just that. I spent many hours listening to tunes served up off of a Slackware box to my desktop using Winamp. Granted, I haven't used Winamp in years, but I was still sad to read today that it's going the way of the dodo. Apparently AOL (yes, they are still around, too!) managed to foul something else up and drove them into the ground. I think the only positive thing that AOL will ever be remembered for was their endless supply of free floppy disks and beer coasters.
After 15 years of llama-whipping, AOL shuts down Winamp for good
