In the days when computer and internet technologies were not as advanced as they are today, there were software that were indispensable for all users. One of them was Winamp. Winamp, which is similar to today’s applications such as Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer, which does not have its own music library, used to allow us to listen to music downloaded to the computer. Now, there has been an important development regarding this application, which we met for the first time in 1997.
Our middle-aged readers know; Winamp had a rather dark design. In fact, different themes could be added to the application, but the original theme was everyone’s favorite, even though it was created in dark colors. Here is a remarkable statement about this design. Winamp has announced that the NFT version of the original design will be auctioned off and the proceeds will be donated to various charities.
Winamp’s design to be converted into NFT is as follows
According to the statements made, Winamp NFT will be auctioned on May 16-22. The highest bidder will be the owner of this unique NFT. Digital media artists will also be able to create and submit their own Winamp designs to Winamp. The ones to be selected among them will also be offered for sale with the main design. Designers will be able to get a share of the designs that will be sold for 0.08 Ethereum (around $220) each. Winamp has announced that it will use OpenSea for NFT sales.
Some of you may not understand what Winamp NFT is for. Let’s explain; this application was indispensable during the years of Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows XP. Therefore, the place of Winamp in the computer industry cannot be disputed. The original Winamp design, on the other hand, will be awarded to the winner of the auction after it is digitally signed and NFT. Thus, the original of the photo we shared above will belong to a person.
