What’s your favorite music player on your PC? Perhaps your prefer the omnipresent and bloated iTunes player. Or maybe you have a penchant for the nimble and open-source foobar2000?
Now let me ask you another question.
What music player did you grow up loving? Which music player holds that special place in your heart that no other music player can oust?
You know what I’m talking about.
It’s the llama man. We all love that enigmatic South American Camelid shrouded in electricity. We all loved the plethora of skins available to alter the appearance of the player. We all loved how light-weight and unobtrusive the player was. We loved it.
But now, if you visit the download page of winamp.com you’ll see the plaintive announcement. I can almost here a dirge playing in the background:
For over 15 years, Winamp has been whipping the Llama’s ass…
But on December 20th, 2013, the roles will reverse and Winamp will leave us all… forever.
How do you feel about this? Are you going to miss Winamp? Let me know in the comments!
