A Blast from the Past: Winamp App Lands on Android
Remember Winamp? It was the music management program back in the pre-iPod and iTunes days. You'd take music downloaded from Napster (remember that one too?) or ripped from your CD collection and dump it into a minimally organized library. But the llama has fallen out of favor and been replaced by the likes of iTunes and Windows Media Player. But, believe it or not, Winamp is still going strong. The media player is making a move into the mobile space though with an official Winamp port for Android. The Android app not only plays your tunes, but has a widget for controlling playback from the home screen and can sync with your Winamp library via USB or Wi-Fi. You can get Winamp for Android by searching the marketplace or using the QR code after the break. If you want to take advantage of the syncing capabilities, you'll have to install the latest beta of Winamp 5.59. DoubleTwist has gained some traction as a syncing solution for Android devices, but the market is far from locked up. If the execution is right, this could signal Winamp's return to prominence.

Too bad it doesn't work. Very, very beta.
