Winamp will be reborn in 2027 to take on streaming
Winamp, the endlessly skinnable MP3 player that ruled Windows desktops in the pre-streaming era, is making a comeback next year , but not as you know it.
AI Summary
Winamp is set to return in 2027 as a brand‑new music player rather than a simple update of its classic desktop software. The revival will be built through a partnership with streaming service Deezer, which will supply the underlying white‑label streaming technology and a licensed music catalog. The new Winamp will launch its own premium subscription service, leveraging Deezer’s infrastructure to deliver streaming content. This marks a shift from Winamp’s original MP3‑only model to a modern streaming platform.
