Winamp goes open source
Iconic music/MP3 player Winamp used to be wildly popular before the advent of music streaming services. Since its heyday, the software has changed its owner many, many times - and has been sidetracked from limelight for years now.
Now, its current owners plan to change the course by making the player open source. Furthermore, Winamp team has outlined the mobile and "other platforms" as its key focus areas for the near future.
Winamp hasn't indicated under which license they will be releasing the source code, but the date is set to 24th of September, 2024. Those who are interested to know more (and possibly contribute to the project) can already join Winamp's FreeLLama mailing list.
Before opening their source code, Winammp plans to release updated versions of its mobile apps in July, 2024.
