I mostly agree with this. The chief problem I've had with not having an
update to Winamp is that it doesn't know what CDs are anymore, except those
newer ones that have their track data embeded in the CD itself. I have
gotten some of those recently. But most CDs still come back Unknown when I
try to rip them with Winamp.
However, now that I've found a CD ripper that usually does know what it's
ripping, and that works very well, (EZ CD Audio Converter), not being able
to do it with Winamp is not such an issue anymore.
So it would be nice to see that someone was behind the program, but it
doesn't matter as much to me now as it used to. As long as it keeps working
I'll keep using it for what it can do.

Well, I figure as long as it works, why add anything new? I think it
works beautifully with the window-eyes scripts. Unless someone comes up
with a feature that we just gotta have, i'm happy with it staying the
way it is.

Hi all,
Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about the future development of
Winamp? The last version came out in mid December 2013 just before Winamp
was taken over by Radionomy. See www.radionomy.com and www.winamp.com. I
wrote to the developers of Winamp on Twitter a few weeks ago asking about
the future of Winamp and received no response. I hope I'm wrong but I'm
starting to think even though there have been promises of new versions of
Winamp that development of Winamp has been abandoned.
I know that there are plenty of other good audio players such as
Foobar2000 and VLC media player available. the reason I like Winamp is
mainly because of the extra functionality added to Winamp when it is used
with the Window-Eyes scripts.
Regards Steve.
