The application Winamp was definitely one of the best players on the systems with Windows. Unfortunately, the project began to lose popularity when AOL changed its application management policies.
So the popular app got one version Pro that was not free, when the UI of the program is to improve too many years. In 2013 the app stopped releasing new versions. However, something began to appear on the horizon.
As soon as everything looks, we'll see a new version of the WinAmp app. WinAmp 5.8 Beta is being prepared by the new owners of the project.
Unfortunately, the developer team is not big, but it seems to be enough to see another version of WinAmp!
Eddy Richman from the original Winamp team as you will see in the tweet below continues developing the popular app trying to keep our favorite player alive.
Some details of development have already been known. WinAmp will probably be released as a 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
