The New Winamp - Limitless music, radio stations and podcasts

@chrismessina Launching on PH In 2023 w/o AI feature 😅

@chrismessina First response i read and it’s 100%.

@rrhoover Exactly, I have no idea what this is, apart from using Winamp many, many years ago, so am curious, just seems to be a web interface for something, no information, click around and have to sign up to get the 'full experience', what full experience?

@rrhoover @smarky It Really Whips the Llama's Ass 🥶

@rrhoover @smarky @eonpilot I'm super confused by the product positioning and value prop here. Just like a team tried to resurrect the Limewire brand as a new NFT-oriented music streamer, it seems like they're betting on nostalgia for the brand to attract talent rather than product. While I appreciate the inclusion of the llama soundicons, nothing about this experience captures what made the OG Winamp great (especially all the sweet custom themes!).

@rrhoover @smarky @chrismessina Having previously worked at Tidal, my understanding is that it's mostly about having access to the music rights, that's ~90% of the value in the company. Less about the product offering. Could be that Winamp is a play to bundle/partner with other platforms and this incarnation of it is just the beginning.
