NEW DELHI: Most of the 90s kids and even those born a few years before are well aware of ‘Winamp’ one of the most popular audio players of its time for desktops. Not only was it easy to use, but we were also able to customise it using several different skins. Unfortunately, Winamp faded out in the crowd of streaming apps and other players and was sold from AOL to Radionomy in 2014. The mp3 player can still be played on the desktops, however it has not been updated since 2013. Now, according to TechCrunch, Winamp is coming back.It has been reported that the player will be back in our lives by next year (2019) and will be more than just a player. It is supposed to be users’ one-stop solution for accessing streaming music, saving them locally or on cloud and even listening to podcasts. The player will come as a smartphone app.“There will be a completely new version next year, with the legacy of Winamp but a more complete listening experience,” said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Radionomy to TechCrunch. “You can listen to the MP3s you may have at home, but also to the cloud, to podcasts, to streaming radio stations, to a playlist you perhaps have built,” he added.It has been reported that Winamp still has over hundred million monthly active users, most of which reside outside the US. This also indicates how strong the community is and how many may want to switch to the upcoming app in future.For now, Winamp player for desktop is said to get an update within the next few days. It should bring the version from v5.666 to v5.8. This also comes as an indication that the firm has not yet left Winamp alone and are continuing to work on it.Indicating more on what the iconic player of its time may have in the upcoming mobile version, Saboundjian said that “What I see today is you have to jump from one player to another player or aggregator if you want to listen to a radio station, to a podcast player if you want to listen to a podcast — this, to me, is not the final experience.”He added that there might not be much they could do on the desktop but a lot can be done on the Android and iOS smartphones. He however, did not reveal the specifics.
