Why wouldn't they want Shoutcast?

Techcrunch says it's a go for both WinAmp and ShoutCast, deal closed by Friday.

It's pretty much clear that they are interested in Shoutcast.

But Winamp will stay alive?

[Bryon Stout]

Aww yea. techcrunch!

[MarkRH]

Hmmm.. never heard of Radionomy until now.

[peppert]

h0 h0 h0.

So, let me put my crystal ball in front and just say.

SHOUTcast server? Has a pretty questionable future. Radionomy is basically a radio station aggregate service. It needs the broadcasters tied in closely and I don't know how a seperate server makes that easy.

Winamp? Maybe nostalgia will be enough for them to keep some part of it going. I definitely think they would want to keep the apps that have been built for SHOUTcast.

I wonder if they'll let our powers-that-be (Craig, Egg, Daz) retake the reins of the forums. Here's hoping...

Aww yea. techcrunch!

Yer famous.

The Radionomy connection was first noticed by a couple of people, including one Bryon Stout on the Winamp forums

I found this URL somehow... Wonder when it'll stop working. http://wamp-forums-dtc-a.evip.aol.com

Well this is good news I hope... Even nullsoft.com changed over to new name servers... I just hope this is a good thing for winamp as well. Not justo shoutcast. It could mostly be to just bring the 50000 or some shoutcast stations over to boost their existing business. Which still leaves winamp in limbo for the most part. But hoping for the best.

I didn't even notice that the Nullsoft nameservers were changed as well. So they bought Nullsoft and not only Winamp/SHOUTcast?
