The application Winamp was definitely one of the best players on Windows systems. Unfortunately, the project began to lose its popularity when AOL changed its application management policies.
So the popular application got a Pro version that was not free when the program UI is to be improved for many years. In 2013 the application stopped releasing new versions. However, something began to appear on the horizon.
In a little while, as everything seems, we will see one new edition of the WinAmp application. WinAMP 5.8 Beta is being prepared by the new owners of the project.
Unfortunately, the team of developers is not great, but apparently it is enough to see another version of WinAmp!
Eddy Richman from the original Winamp team as you will see in the tweet below, continues the development of the popular application trying to keep our beloved player alive.
Some details from the development have already become known. WinAmp will probably be released as 100% free application, without the Pro version with all its features unlocked.
Update: So a Winamp 5.8 public beta release could be imminent. It's far from ready, but is certainly usable :-) #Winamp #ItLives
