As an early fan of Winamp, what I have found is that most people do not want the Winamp experience these day. The problem with Winamp is it came with no music, only a JJ McKay promo.

There are many players that seek to emulate the Winamp experience but much of the audience for something like that have moved on to Spotify. Today's audiences want a fully curated experience from their "Player", which Winamp was never designed to do.

For the price of less than one CD a month, I can have access to more music that I want to listen to. And I don't have to lug around all that music on three different devices.

That's not outsourcing curation. That's basically cloud storage + file sharing.
