In the last month there have been various stories about the fate that should befall the popular Winamp. From a sudden cancellation and complete shutdown, over a petition requesting to become open source, to the alleged Microsoft's interest to become the owner of the program and all supporting services.

Winamp is one of the most famous and longest-running multimedia player that will cease to exist on 20th December. After that date, the website Winamp.com nor other related sites will no longer be available, nor will it be possible to download the application itself.
