Goodbye Winamp
Winamp will be no more as of December 20th, 2013.
The once popular, 15 year old mp3 software had been purchased from Nullsoft by AOL in 1999 for $80 million. But the company will discontinue the software next month and is allegedly hoping to sell it to Microsoft, along with the Shoutcast music streaming service.
Although I haven’t used Winamp for over five years, I’m a bit sad to see it go.
Winamp was my favourite mp3 software for years, until iTunes came along for Canada. And I had used it to rip the vast majority of my CD collection even after windows media player offered that ability.
I loved compiling my favourite music to CDs for my multi-disc carousels and I am still listening to music I had ripped a decade back using this software.
Hopefully it’ll find a new home at Microsoft. But I’m guessing it’ll probably be rebranded for the X-Box.
Typhoon Haiyan Relief Concert in Toronto
Michael Sadler of Saga announced yesterday on his blog that a multiple act concert is in the works in Toronto for December 12th, 2013 at the Phoenix Concert Theater.
No details have been released as of yet on the venue’s site. But I suspect a preliminary line-up should make it’s way to the site within the month.
