Winamp was one of the most popular music players for Windows PCs in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But things went downhill after AOL acquired the company and wound up largely abandoning it for years.
Then a company called Radionomy bought Winamp (and the associated Shoutcast streaming service) in 2014, eventually changed its name to Llama Group and started up development again and released a new version in 2022. Some moves since then have been weird (like adding support for NFTs), but now the company has announced plans to open source Winamp, which could spur further development… if there are any developers still interested in building on this 25-year old music app for Windows.
Here's a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
The current owners of Winamp have announced they will release the source code for its Windows music player on September 24, 2024, "enabling the entire community to participate in its development."
