But since most of us who use Windows 8, 10 don’t stick to the touch face only, we have to deal with many desktop apps, as well. I’ve been using Winamp for as long as I remember, so I will now be keeping a log with all the updates that it will receive for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, 10. By using Winamp on Windows 8, 10 you can open such files as MP3, MIDI, MOD, MPEG-1 audio layers 1 and 2, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV and WMA. There are many skins that you can use to customize its looks, but many, just like me (have a look at the above screenshot), will choose to stick with the good old classic menu. But, without further ado, for those who aren’t yet running the latest version of Winamp for Windows 8, 10 or they just don’t know what it is about, let’s have a look.

What you need to know is that currently, Winamp & SHOUTcast have sold their product to Radionomy, so changes will be applied in the future. But from what we’re aware, here is the latest version and some important features in the changelog for you to download. Important update It needs to be pointed out that AOL has decided to close the Winamp media player on December 20, 2013, which was just a week after the update that we talked about below. Therefore, you need to know that this is the reason why the latest version is this old. We will be following news and will update once another version gets released.

UPDATE 2 added in August 2018

If you are waiting for some big news about Winamp, you should know that there will be a new version available for Windows 10, 8.1 users, with a lot of bug fixes, improvements and a lot more.

The site is up and running and it looks great, with a new design and you can listen there your local radio stations and some popular ones too in the Shoutcast section. Sadly, the download section will redirect you to a forum where you can keep up with the news about an eventually release date. The Winamp downloads and Winamp Pro purchases will be temporarily unavailable whilst code licensed to/by the previous owner is removed/replaced. SPONSORED
