BetaNews | Death Knell Sounds for Nullsoft, Winamp
The last members of the original Winamp team have said goodbye to AOL and the door has all but shut on the Nullsoft era, BetaNews has learned. Only a few employees remain to prop up the once-ubiquitous digital audio player with minor updates, but no further improvements to Winamp are expected.

What is the ubiquitous audio player for Windows now? Is it Windows Media Player? Sad to see it disappear.

I think as of this writing it's still Winamp. Remains to be seen what ends up replacing it. I've heard rumbles of Foobar, and even iTunes, which would be delicious in and of itself. But I still use Winamp. Winamp 5 is a huge improvement on 3 -- less bloat, faster response, better engineering. And honestly, I'd rather not use WMP if I can at all avoid it....
