Winamp For Android Hits 1.0: That Poor Llama
Posted by Jason Lee in "Android Software" @ 04:00 PM
"With the bump to version 1, Winamp for Android introduces a bunch of cool new features. Most notably is the ability to download and stream MP3s from Spinner, but there's also a new Featured SHOUTcast Stations area and extensive UI changes throughout."
Back in the late 90's I found a way to pull the music off of my CDs to the hard drive of my computer. It was the coolest thing! Unfortunately, it was some weird format that windows wouldn't play so I had to find a third party player to help me out. Enter Winamp. *magical flash forward sound*
I can't say that I've been a Winamp user all these years. I moved on long ago. Though I must admit when the first beta was released for Android I jumped right on it. Over the course of the beta period Winamp for Android has gone through some pretty major changes. The UI has been tweaked yet again, WiFi sync has been beefed up, and it now supports free mp3 streaming and downloads though Spinner. All in all a very nice update. Any of you guys out there hardcore Winamp users?
