Winamp will not die: there was a buyer on the player

Most likely, the Winamp player will continue to exist, and, perhaps, he will still be able to surprise his fans. The fact is that, according to TechCrunch and some other sources, AOL is going to sell the player to Radionomy. The fact that the transaction is already in the process is indicated at least by the fact that the DNS server from Radionomy has already been registered for the winamp.com domain.

Earlier, AOL servers were registered. In addition to the player itself, Radionomy will also buy the Shoutcast server. Unfortunately, the amount of the transaction remains unknown. As for the buyer, the company Radionomy, it is engaged in ensuring the work of the same name service, it is an aggregator of Internet radio stations. The company has existed since 2008.

As far as can be judged, the deal will lead to the fact that Winamp will not die yet, but will continue to evolve. After all, Radionomy is not a Google-sized corporation, which buys some companies only to close, using the work of the previous team for its services.

Winamp was purchased by AOL in 1999.
