Winamp will use Deezer technology to launch a premium streaming service in 2027, combining subscription music with local files, radio, podcasts and cloud libraries. Winamp says the new player will bring together streaming music, local files, internet radio, podcasts and personal cloud libraries within one customizable interface. For Deezer, Winamp creates another way to distribute its catalog without having to persuade Spotify and Apple Music subscribers to switch directly to the Deezer brand. Winamp will not be the first platform to combine locally stored music with subscription streaming. Apple Music also allows listeners to manage local music alongside its streaming library.
