Sad news !! I hope AOL would release the source code, so that the development of the player can be taken up by the community.

Is SHOUTcast radio also going to be shutdown?

One of the best skins and visualizers of that time. I loved the 'Disco ball' kind of visualization. definitely (painfully) end of an era.
