The mp3 player we all loved in the 90s won't be dead after all. Radionomy, an online radio business based in Belgium, announced Tuesday that it has acquired the 15-year-old music player from AOL, along with Shoutcast- a service that serves up Internet radio.

"Winamp is a top independent player that gives millions of people the best player functionality available," Alexandre Saboundjian, Radionomy's CEO, said in a statement. "Its role is clear in the future evolution of online media, we plan to make the player ubiquitous, developing new functionalities dedicated to desktop, mobile, car systems, connected devices and all other platforms."

Radionomy reportedly paid between $5 million and $10 million in cash and shares for both properties.
