Winamp Is Teaming up with Deezer to Bring Streaming to Its Iconic Music Player
Deezer will power Winamp’s new subscription service as the company targets a 2027 comeback with streaming, local libraries and podcasts in one app.
- On Wednesday, Winamp and Deezer announced a partnership to power Winamp's upcoming premium subscription service, allowing Winamp to leverage Deezer's white-label technology and global music catalog.
- The next-generation Winamp Player, scheduled for release in the first half of 2027, is designed to "reinvent the music player for the streaming era" by combining streaming with local libraries and other audio sources.
- Winamp touts over 40 million active users for its free desktop player and asserts the subscription service will "deliver a fundamentally different experience from today's traditional digital streaming platforms" through personalization features.
- The platform enters a saturated market dominated by Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, and it remains unclear whether users will pay for another subscription service despite Winamp's legacy appeal.
- While Winamp previously explored Web3 and NFT integration, the company is now focusing on its core audience, capitalizing on a recent, broader resurgence of interest in retro technology and nostalgic audio devices.
