Winamp 6, due out in 2019, aims to whip more llama ass

Rejoice, llama-whipping fans, a new version of Winamp is set to be released in 2019, according to a Monday report by TechCrunch. Alexandre Saboundjian, the CEO of Radionomy, said that the upgrade would bring a "complete listening experience."

[...] The Belgian company that bought Winamp from AOL in January 2014 hasn't really done much with it since buying the remnants of the property just months after AOL finally pulled the plug.

Winamp.

    Last.fm was useful, once upon a time, several years ago...
    I fed it several months worth of music listening, and by exploring what it deemed my 'nearest neighbours' were listening to and picking artists I'd never heard of, I discovered a fair number of bands I'd have otherwise ignored, but as I then discovered a number of blog sites run by people with similar eclectic musical tastes to my own who provided me with a better signal to noise ratio when it came to artists I'd never encountered before, I switched off the 'scrobbler' and stopped using their site.
    A couple of months back when I was purging my unused accounts, I logged in to last.fm, a quick check of who it thinks are people with similar tastes to mine are listening to was informative, there was a lot of what I'd regard as 'commercial pop', and, rather weirdly, a number of messages about goth/metal (including one for a dating site) not genres I listen to a lot of...so, interesting, says I..and put a stay of execution on deleting the account. As I've now currently got the time, I think i'll investigate if they're 'gaming' these 'similarity' matches for commercial gain.
