Especially for the generation who are in their late 20s and 30s now, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, fizy and similar music listening platforms do not exist yet; Winamp was indispensable for all of us in the times when we downloaded our favorite songs to the computer instead. We used to listen to the songs we downloaded via Winamp and create the playlists that most of us make on Spotify today.
With the development of technology, Winamp is getting ready to take a new step to regain its place in the music market. However, it seems that the new Winamp, whose website has been completely renewed and now has a new logo, will be much different from the Winamp we once knew.

It would be unfair if we say that we are very excited after this new news, especially for those of us who have a special place in Winamp during our teenage years. There are even some concept designs for how the new Winamp will look. Here is one of those designs:
