Winamp announces its return for 2019 with version 6.0

Winamp was the favorite music player for many for over a decade. The app was launched in 1997 and five years later it was acquired by AOL. For several years that the application stopped having new versions, until now.

Winmap 6.0 will return with everything in 2019

Those responsible for Winamp have confirmed that the player will have a great update in 2019 with version 6.0. On the other hand, on the 19th of this month, version 5.8 will be officially released and all the options available in the Pro version will be free.

The player will not only return to its desktop version, but will also be available on mobile devices (iOS and Android). The company wants the new Winamp to be the all-in-one player player. Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Radionomy, spoke about this topic: "People just want a good experience, I think Winamp is the player that everyone will use, we want people to have it on all devices."

The player has been in force since 1997

Saboundjian predicted that it will be a completely new version, but that it will respect Winamp's heritage by adding a more complete listening experience. "You can listen to the MP3 you have at home, but also in the cloud, podcasts, radio stations, playlists that you have created, " he concluded.

According to the TechCrunch portal, the player is used monthly by up to 100 million people. There is no doubt that everyone will be grateful to receive a new version. "Winamp users are really everywhere, there are a large number, we have a very strong and important community, " said the executive.

At the moment, it is not known if Winamp will be integrated with platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music or Google, something that would be a hoot.
