Winamp was one of the most popular music players for Windows PCs in the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, things went south after AOL bought the company, and it ended up being largely abandoned for many years.
A company called Radionomy then acquired Winamp (and the related Shoutcast streaming service) in 2014, eventually changing the name to Llama Group, restarting development, and releasing a new version in 2022. Some moves since then have been strange (such as adding support for NFT), but now the company has announced plans to open source Winamp, which could spur further development …if any developers are still interested in building this 25 year old music app for Windows.
Here's a roundup of recent technology news from around the web.
