Winamp user/download statistics?

BMXKID · 24th January 2006, 01:39

Hellopers,

I am the guy who made the original Mac/Winamp-logo with the head back in the day, you know

http://www.ripper.se/folio/winamp_guy.jpg

I'm wondering if there are any statistics on how many users/downloads Winamp has? I understand the answer would be incredibly inaccurate but just a pointer would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

Planning on asking for some royalties ?

It did once upon a time tell you what installation number you were when you installed, but that vanished a long time back, last I remember it was a very big number.

The Nullsoft Winamp logo. I made this illustration a couple of years ago for the application MacAmp.
Nullsoft later ported it to Windows and it becomes the defacto PC mp3-player world standard.

I made a new version of it, but they said they rather use the old
one for some undisclosed reason. Watch it in low-rez here.

Sthlm Ripper prefer iTunes

the reason the file was in a certain format was due to the number of colours iirc. basically, the performance of the compression best fit the format the graphic was saved as.

im unsure if the current graphics have maintained this compression scheme. obviously, every little bit of winamp tries its hardest to be as small as possible.

and itunes? dear god.

Anyone care to venture a guess on the userbase?

Mr. Jones: I already got a pittance for it. But they took it out anyway so I guess I cant cry about it too much.

CraigF: It's the filtering!

Actually I made that site years ago and I've fallen out of lust with iTunes (and Apple) somewhat. But I cant be arsed to switch really.

You mean you want to estimating numbers of winamp user/download!!!

How can you do this? Is it possible?
I am very eager to know statistics.
