I had hoped some HN'ers would end up purchasing it.
There was a fairly long string of comments pledging funds [1]. I'm curious how that panned out - in both terms of informal croudsourcing and how one negotiates with AOL-TW.

On Windows, I'm still using Winamp as of today because I haven't found an alternative of equal quality. Not sure why though considering that Winamp is so old, at least enough time to develop a good alternative!
I got lazy. I just drag the files into a Firefox tab because it's already there. Works great if you listen to mix mp3s or are obsessive about picking mp3s.
I've lived by MPD since I first flirted with Unix in the day. It also runs on Windows.
I highly recommend Music Bee.
So Winamp's delay has been postponed by a year or two. Okay.
So Microsoft didn't want Winamp and Shoutcast bad enough?
My first thought:
AOL is still alive ?
You clearly don't follow the market very much.

I knew they were still a big company, but I didn't know about their recent uptick. What's going on there?
