Winamp’s history
Winamp was initially developed by Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev through their company Nullsoft 25 years ago. It was acquired by AOL for $80 million in 1999, but lost relevance with the advent of streaming and downloading digital files. In 2013, Radionomy bought the company.
Winamp is a media player with a wide variety of functions and features for playing music and video.

In addition to file compatibility, Winamp also offers a wide variety of options to customize the playback experience. Users can use plug-ins for audio input and output, such as DSP (Digital Signal Processing for sound effects), or visual effects (such as AVS or MilkDrop).

Users can also rip music CD tracks in MP3 or AAC formats (only available in registered version) and burn music to CD (only in registered version). In addition, it supports 24-bit playback, 5.1 surround sound and Alpha channel support (windows with transparency), which makes it a complete tool for music and video lovers.
