Announced today - Winamp 5.66 will be the last ever version of Winamp. Not available for download either past the end of Decemeber, so yet it while it's hot! What sad news - curious what this means for Stereotool as well - will you support a new Media Player? |

Ow. That's not good... Not so much because Winamp is so great (there are many players that have similar or better features which also support Winamp plugins), but I do know that a lot of traffic is coming in (or at least it used to a few years ago - I'm not sure if it's still the case) from the DSP site from Winamp, which I read will also close. Many other players link to the Winamp site when people want to download DSP plugins. So I hope someone will create a new directory of DSP plugins.Not available for download either past the end of Decemeber, so yet it while it's hot! What sad news - curious what this means for Stereotool as well - will you support a new Media Player? Edit: Hm. I just checked. 288.791 downloads of Stereo Tool reported there since 2008... I do wonder though if the number is still being updated (under 'New uploads' the declipper is still the 2nd, it has been there for over a year and only had 21.110 downloads which - for a plugin that has been on the first page for this long - does not make much sense). But there's another plugin that's apparently uploaded a month ago, with 7000 downloads. If these numbers are correct I can only guess that the site was nearly dead already - when I first uploaded the (at the time pretty horrible) Stereo Tool 1.0 there (wow...) I had 5000 downloads within a week and 90.000 after a few months. |

The Winamp site still refers to Stereo Tool 7.23, in the last 100 hits on my site I see that version mentioned twice... So I'm guessing (and hoping) that most traffic comes from elsewhere. |

Ok, I know i will use winamp who knows how long... but what are replacements? At once (from skype talk) 3 peoples recomended AIMP. I download it and first thing i played is 192kHz mono flac file wich played only on left channel. Also asio does not work for some reason etc.. So, uninstall. |
