It’s been a years-long effort, but Winamp is truly returning from the dead.

Winamp relaunched as aweb-based experiencein mid-2023.

And, understandably, it was met with mixed emotions.

Local playback and third-party streaming integration are supposedly planned for the future.

This promise is now fulfilled.

Upon opening the Winamp mobile app, I was immediately greeted by my personal media library.

There’s plenty of room for improvement here.

The app is attractive and functional, but the music player itself feels generic.

However, as an iPhone user, I seriously appreciate this app’s iCloud integration.

iCloud integration lets me circumvent this problem.

I can go into my iCloud library and connect songs or albums to Winamp in under a minute.

The Android version of this app also supports cloud functionality.

Of course, Android isn’t restrained by the draconian rule that I experience on iOS.

I should note that this is not a brand-new app.

Winamp was quietly launched on Android and iOSlast year, presumably for beta testing.

An update that added customizable EQ and CarPlay support also rolled out last week.
