Hi!
I stopped using winamp in 2004 and went over to foobar2000.
It is and was a great player.
Though you should be aware of that you have to create your own shortcuts.
But thats not a big deal.

2013-11-23 Thread Dane Trethowan
Only takes a minute or two to do some basic shortcuts and from there create as 
you go.

Back to the subject line of where do you get Winamp? smile. Doesn't the 
Winamp software have an auto update function? When I last used Winamp - 
whenever that just happened to be - I'm sure I remember the software having an 
update featre.

Okay so suppose Winamp has an Update function, does it work now? Will it stop 
working on 20 December? I suspect that the function will keep working for quite 
some time allowing access to whatever the last version of Winamp was.

Hi all,

Sorry for the confusion. If you go to

www.winamp.com/media-player/all

and when you're at the top of that page use your screen reader's find 
command to search for Winamp.com without the quotes and start reading 
from there you should find the message about Winamp shutting down.


Regarding Winamp Pro the link I gave in my previous version is for the 
free version of Winamp. However if you've already purchased a serial 
number for Winamp Pro and entered it into Winamp the latest version will 
turn into Winamp Pro. It looks like you can no longer buy Winamp pro 
though. I've been using Winamp Pro since 2004.
