Winamp, one of the oldest digital music players, is planning a major update for 2019. The mother Radionomy wants to reboot its glorious past as an all-in-one app.
Radionomy's purpose is to create the new Winamp that will play anything audio, such as podcasts, playlists, streaming radio stations, ie it will play every digital sound on a single platform. We expect the update to be released in 2019.
We don't have many details about the upgrade yet. So far we know that Winamp will have a mobile app, available for iOS and Android, and a PC version that will be fully upgraded. An update for version 18 will currently be available on October 5.8 and will be the first new version the app has received since version 5.666 appeared in 2013. The 2016 application was virtually abandoned and in the same year it was sold to Radionomy.
The upcoming update on October 18th will be a simple awakening of her μνήμηof older internet users as all it will provide will be some basic bug and compatibility fixes that will keep the app running until the company can bring a new upgrade. The completely revamped version of the app, Winamp 6, is expected sometime next year, and the mobile app will presumably come with it.
Radionomy CEO Alexandre Saboundjian said he is envisioning the new Winamp as a kind of concerted program that will incorporate all the possible listening options into a single, searchable platform. He did not report how the new Winamp will be integrated with services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, or any other popular streaming option. It is unlikely that companies are interested in working with a project that plans to pull users out of their individual ecosystems. So wait.
