The famous media player Winamp developed by Nullsoft and owned by AOL will live on, as Belgium radio service Radionomy has reached an agreement with the parent company to take over the media player and the adjacent services.
TechCrunch is reporting that Radionomy, who has more than 6,000 radio stations in its portfolio, and AOL, the current owner of Winamp who originally planned to shut it down by December 20, 2013, are supposed to finalize the deal by the end of the week.
Neither AOL nor Radionomy issued official comments on this, but Winamp forum members have reportedly spotted that Winamp’s nameservers have been quietly transferred to Radionomy, which means that an agreement may already be in place.
