Not so long ago, we reported that the popular music player Winamp is living its last days. But according to recent data, the company AOL, which owns Winamp, is going to buy the company Radionomy, which owns the service of Internet broadcasting.
This site reports TechCrunch, citing its anonymous sources. According to him, the transaction between the two companies should take place in the coming days. Both the Winamp and the Shoutcast will be taken over by Radionomy. The amount of the transaction remains unknown.
The first to the fact of the transaction was paid attention by the forum users on the player’s website, where the user under the nickname Bryon Stout noticed that the winamp.com domain belongs to the Radionomy DNS servers. Previously, the corresponding line was the AOL DNS server.
The company Radionomy itself is a service that aggregates many Internet radio stations. Now the company has about six thousand radio stations of various styles and genres. The company has been operating in the Internet market since 2008.
The closing date of the service was scheduled for December 20, but this did not happen. As we can see, perhaps in the future, the favorite music player Winamp will still delight its users.
