Winamp has confirmed that it will officially return next year

Winamp has been the world’s best-known local media player for the past decade, but the player was abandoned and stopped updating after AOL acquired it.

AOL officially announced the abandonment of Winamp in 2013 and no longer provides update maintenance. In 2014, Radionomy acquired Winamp formally.

But Winamp, which was re-acquired, has not been resurrected since then, and it is finally reported that Winamp is testing new compatible versions internally.

Radionomy confirms that Winamp will return next year:

The leaked internal beta version mainly updates the user interface and is compatible with Windows 10 systems, while adding many new features to the original features.

After the beta was widely disseminated, the developer Radionomy has issued an official statement confirming that the company will release a new version of the Winamp player next year.

According to the company, Winamp will provide a complete listening experience, support for local playback and support for streaming from the cloud or blogs and streaming media.

But now that you want to listen to ads or music, you may need to jump from that player to that player, which is not the best experience for users.

The beta version is leaked but will not be released in a short time:

Although the beta version leaks and even the new version of the update log is circulated, for the expected users, it may be necessary to continue waiting.

Because both the news and the officially acknowledged news will be released next year, but it is not easy to say at the beginning of next year or the end of next year.

So if you are interested in using this classic player, you can click here to download the leaked version of the night that is also the beta version.
