Winamp set to return as an all-in-one audio platform in 2019, says report
Oct 16, 2018 8:00 AM

Winamp, a customisable and outdated media player is reinventing itself and maybe be back soon as a mobile app which will include playlists, podcasts, and streaming radio stations, said a report by tech website TechCrunch.

Winamp, a popular freeware media player famous for its utilitarian music playback, was first released in 1997 and was later acquired by AOL. It was later taken over by Radionomy in 2014.

The original app which was last updated back in 2013 still works fine and will get an updated version with bug fixes and compatibility, the report said adding that the media platform will get a revamped look by 2019 with Winamp 6 version.

“There will be a completely new version next year, with the legacy of Winamp but a more complete listening experience,” CEO of Radionomy Alexandre Saboundjian was quoted as saying in the report. “You can listen to the MP3s you may have at home, but also to the cloud, to podcasts, to streaming radio stations, to a playlist you perhaps have built.”

The idea of the new version of the media player is to get an update for both desktop and mobile while aggregating all forms of music platform into a single searchable experience for audio lovers, the report said.
