    Death of Nullsoft

    I know winamp was a rival player, but recently the entire nullsoft company collapsed. All the main coders quit because of AOL related problems (Aol own nullsoft for those not in the know). Now only one coder remains, and hes only a bugfixer. Whilst dbpoweramp is an excelent player, winamp 5 was in a league of its own, miles above WMP. I dont know your guys opinions of winamp, but i am very sad to see it go.

        Most of the original team left, yes. However, they have since acquired new people and will continue working on Winamp, it looks like.

          some talk of it being released open source, which would be brilliant

            That was referencing the Winamp3 player becoming open source, which I think it did
            Oh, and Winamp 5.09 was released. Looks like Nullsoft is still alive and kicking.
