Download it before it's gone for good

WinAmp is shutting down on December 20 - free version of the player.

When I first got the program through RHK, I thought it was a cool mp3 player and I was satisfied with it, not seeking any alternatives. I've simplified a bit since then, using vlc player as I don't listen to many mp3s while I'm using the computer - I'm more likely to listen to some online program. What killed WinAmp? Not enough people paying for the product?
