Free music streaming online
Screenshots
Winamp is a free online music streaming site that supports content creators with subscriptions in much the same way as YouTube Music, Spotify and iTunes. While the app is free to register for an account, it does have a subscription model if you want to unlock more features or music. A high percentage of these payments go directly to the content creators.
Besides music, there are also podcast channels you can listen to. When you find an artist you like, you can subscribe to their shows to see them appear on your feed more often. This is a new Winamp that is a massive step up from the previous Windows version available as a desktop application several years ago.
Stream music and artists
While many thought that Winamp no longer existed, it’s reached a new level of entertainment instead. There are hundreds of people using the new version today, which lets you stream music online at your leisure. You can also mark artists as your favourites if you want updates on new songs or for their tracks to appear on your daily feed.
Listen to podcasts or radio
Two other Winamp features bring artists to you in different ways. You can listen to popular podcasts, which may include interviews with your favourite singers. There are also radio stations available, but it will depend on your location.
Subscribe for more
When you register for an account, you’ll be limited in what you can hear or the impact of adverts. If you want the complete experience, you can pay for a subscription. It helps the artists collect money for sharing their content, supporting them in making more songs.
Enjoy some of the best music
Winamp has come a long way since its first appearance on Windows devices. Gone are the days you listened to songs you downloaded on your PC. As with many other music services these days, you can now stream songs online without needing to save them.
However, it’s better if you pay for a subscription. You’ll unlock more features, and you’ll support artists who need that income to survive and make more music. If you’re not in the mood for your feed, you can pop into the podcast or radio channels.
