Winamp 5.8’s beta version has been accessible for almost four years, although it is still in the testing stage. Currently, Winamp 5.9 RC1 has been made available by the creators as a release candidate that works with Windows 11. It appears that customers are eagerly anticipating the iconic player’s first full release in nearly nine years.
Support for Windows 11 and the ability to sync with the Android version of the application are two features listed in the description of the new player version.
The VP8 codec’s support has been enhanced, a new working directory for podcasts has been introduced, and support for the M38 codec has also been added by the developers.
Additionally, bug fixes and optimization were performed to increase the application’s stability.
WINAMP PLAYER IS AVAILABLE AGAIN WITH A TEST VERSION 5.9
The American developer Nullsoft’s Winamp player, which was once incredibly well-liked and particularly widely used around the turn of the millennium, first launched more than 25 years ago as shareware for Windows 95.
Millions of people all around the world immediately adopted the player as their primary method of MP3 audio playback due to its huge popularity.
Winamp eventually ended its successful run in 2013 after more than 16 years. The player’s most recent final release, version 5.666, was made available on December 12, 2013, and it is still in use today.
Winamp 6’s full release was scheduled by Radion Omy for October 2018; however, it hasn’t happened yet. The Win Amp Community Update Project (WACUP), which offers a plugin package based on Winamp, is currently responsible for maintaining Winamp.
