* Improved: Added an option to completely disable Winamp's video support * New: Windows Audio (WASAPI) Output plug-in (w.i.p.) Radionomy will be staring down the big guns like iTunes and Spotify in 2019 in an effort to elegantly bring all forms of audio - podcasts, streaming, personal music libraries, internet radio - under one roof. The real highlight is what's to come, and though the details are light, I can't help but be excited. This version is more of a "proof of life" update to please users who may have abandoned it since switching to a newer version of Windows.
For more on the update, you can view its full release notes at the Winamp forums.Don't expect any drastic revisions to the player's classic appearance or functionality, though. If you want to take a quick trip down memory lane, the Winamp 5.8 beta is available for download now, complete with its signature "it really whips the llama's a**" sound effect upon its first run. Sluggish performance doesn't help things either. And if you're used to interacting with more modern apps like Spotify, the interface will be jarring to say the least.
On high-resolution displays, the scaling is off upon installing Winamp 5.8, so you'll be squinting to see your player controls. However, don't let those nostalgia glasses fool you this is still a very rough release. While it's still very much in beta, the update does add compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. This version is not an ongoing project but be sure that we are currently working hard on a future new Winamp. We therefore recommend that you download this version rather than any other as we guarantee it is safe for you to use. Consequently, we have decided to make this new version available to you, revised by us. From Winamp:Ī leaked version of Winamp 5.8 recently spread over the Internet. Sort of.Īfter an in-development version of Winamp's first update in years recently leaked, the Winamp team today decided to release it themselves as version 5.8 (via MSPU). Now, after seeing a glimmer of hope with its 2013 acquisition by Radionomy, and subsequently languishing without an update for the following five years, Winamp is ready to make a return.
And for music aficionados, nothing may be more nostalgic than Winamp, the venerable music (and video) player that dominated the scene prior to the rise of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
