Winamp’s Woes

Winamp's woes: how the greatest MP3 player undid itself is a good little article. I remember MacAMP too and the drama and stuff around that. I even wrote some plugins for MacAMP when it was - I kid you not - MacAST. Many of the people behind that app went on to found Unsanity, which last released an update in 2010 or so with a post on their site on October 8, 2011.
P.S. My plugins included Dancing Baby, Ear Hair (IIRC), and one that was actually fairly popular and quite versatile with a fairly sophisticated means of determining the EQ levels.
