Older internet users are very likely to remember an application called Winamp.
Winamp was once a very popular MP3 player for Windows and many people still use the app today. However, in recent years, the app has gone through some rough patches.
The media player was purchased by AOL in 1999 for $80 million and was later acquired by Radionomy in 2014. At the time, Radionomy had promised to release a new version of the app with many features. But so far there have been no official releases from the company other than a few mentions from the developers.
Now, almost 4 years later, a beta version of Winamp 5.8 media player has leaked online and despite being considered an old and outdated application, it is being widely distributed. This leaked version was developed on October 26, 2016 and has been published by an unknown source.
The Winamp 5.8 release brings many new features and improvements, including support for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
However, Radionomy has not yet released the official version of Winamp 5.8, so the .exe file uploaded by the anonymous user could have many bugs and may lead to an unpredictable software error.
Therefore, it is not recommended to install the media player yet. But if you can't wait to get the new Winamp media player, you can download the file from here, but at your own risk.
