Winamp, the legendary music player application, has returned with a modern look and exciting new features for new users. However, the original version of the Winamp application still has 83 million active monthly users worldwide and will not be going away anytime soon.
Audio Platform Aggregator and Fanzone for Creators
Llama Group, the company behind Winamp, aims to make its service an aggregator for online audio platforms and a place for creators to connect with their fans.
For its latest debut, Winamp is only available as a web application with limited features, such as streaming internet radio stations and listening to podcasts.
However, for creators, Winamp provides a 'Fanzone' tab where they can sell exclusive content and experiences to their fans. Llama Group hopes to bring one million creators into this program.
Winamp Development Plans
In the third quarter of this year, Winamp plans to launch a mobile application for iOS and Android, complete with the option to play local audio files. The good news is that this mobile application will have the classic Winamp application's appearance.
For its long-term plans, Winamp aims to become a hub for all online audio platforms. They plan to integrate music streaming services like Spotify so that users can access their playlists without leaving Winamp.
The application also plans to introduce support for audiobooks, but they admit to not yet having a cooperation agreement with the catalog owners.
