Hi all,
the following information is taken from the Winamp home page at
www.winamp.com:
Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past
December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be
available for download. Please download the latest version before that date.
end of article.
If you want to get the latest version which is now 5.66 I'd strongly
encourage you to download it while you can! A direct link to the file is at
