This is from the Softpedia site:
Winamp will officially go dark next month
Winamp, once one of the most popular media players on the market, will
be officially discontinued on December 20, 2013, due to yet to be
disclosed reasons.
AOL announced the decision in a brief statement on the official
Winamp.com website, saying that the webpage and the downloadable media
player will be removed on December 20.

Hi all,
the following information is taken from the Winamp home page at
www.winamp.com:
Winamp.com and associated web services will no longer be available past
December 20, 2013. Additionally, Winamp Media players will no longer be
available for download. Please download the latest version before that
date.
end of article.
If you want to get the latest version which is now 5.66 I'd strongly
encourage you to download it while you can! A direct link to the file is
