Winamp is a classic player that has been around since the early days of Windows and continues to be available in the market today to suit today’s needs. That’s why it’s not strange that they launched their mobile app for Android and iOS with the aim of staying up-to-date with other popular features of Winamp.
Some features have been improved compared to the web version, such as the ability to play music locally on the device, as well as access streaming programs. Also, the subscription system for listening to emerging artists isn’t what it used to be.
WinAmp, Windows Player now on Android and iOS
Although it’s a classic, in a market full of free music player options, Winamp doesn’t seem to stand out. Its functions are similar to what you will find in many other applications of the same style. Its web app doesn’t have much new to offer other than a so-called Fanzone, where you can subscribe to artists’ space, just like you would on Patreon.
But it doesn’t mean that all the things above are a waste of time, because among the features, you can play music from your personal library, your mobile or even from the cloud. Winamp shows you recently listened to music, recently added music, and lets you search for a specific song or album using filters.
You can also seamlessly create your own playlists by mixing music from your device and music you’ve found on FanZone, albeit with an AI function like Spotify for now. The design of the player is very general without missing the main options. In addition, it allows you to listen to podcasts and live broadcasts as well as free radio stations.
Another thing missing from the classic Winamp is the high customization with different plugins and skins. At the moment there is nothing similar in the mobile application, although we do not say that in the future new updates will come with improvements that will make it a more attractive option.
Undoubtedly, it’s one more thing that differentiates between different music player options, just like its decent competition.
