The Milk Drop visualisation now comes by default with Time Warner's Winamp, and is the greatest thing ever.

We always loved you.

We all knew eventually TimeWarner would exert some pressure on AOL for owning/running winamp.com as a portal to steal TimeWarner artists' work. Yesterday, winamp took down their search engine (here's the current result for all searches). Is this just the first step by TimeWarner? How long will winamp continue to last?

Dontcha hate it when something like Winamp gets bought out by AOL? It crashes a bit too much on my home system so I went looking for alternatives and was glad when I found FreeAMP (it's GPL'ed to boot!). Take the high road, use the mp3 player that guarantees no AOL buyouts on your desktop.
