I don't think too many new audio formats are going to come out. It probably
would be protocols to deliver internet streaming that could change from
Shoutcast and Icecast over time, but I think it should still be available on
Winamp.com.

Subject: Re: The Future of Winamp
Steve,
I have used winamp for years, and love it. But my worry is, what to use
to
handle new streaming formats as they are implemented? Is there an audio
player
that handles as many diverse filetypes as winamp?
Cheers for now

Hi all,
Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about the future development of
Winamp? The last version came out in mid December 2013 just before Winamp
was taken over by Radionomy. See www.radionomy.com and www.winamp.com. I
wrote to the developers of Winamp on Twitter a few weeks ago asking about
the future of Winamp and received no response. I hope I'm wrong but I'm
starting to think even though there have been promises of new versions of
Winamp that development of Winamp has been abandoned.
I know that there are plenty of other good audio players such as
Foobar2000 and VLC media player available. the reason I like Winamp is
mainly because of the extra functionality added to Winamp when it is used
with the Window-Eyes scripts.
Regards Steve.
