Winamp is back from the dead... Reborn as Android

If you’re like me you remember Winamp fondly from back in the day. It is a solid media player from a time before iTunes ubiquity. It provided a skinable interface which made it all the rage in homes across America. As iPods and iTunes arrived it lost some of its charm as you could not sync with your apple media player as easily as you could with the apple software. Well it looks like Winamp has learned from its mistakes and is looking to get in on the forefront of Android media syncing.

One of the main voids left in the Android ecosystem is that lack of a way to easily sync media between your home computer and your mobile Android device. There are a few okay ways to do this, doubleTwist the most prominent, but all are a bit clunky. Winamp seems to want to fill this vacuum.

Along with promising to be a complete Android media management solution, Winamp claims to provide seamless syncing between your Winamp desktop client and your phone. This can be done over Wi-Fi or a USB connection. It looks like we are one step closer to never having to plug our cell phones into our computers again.







Winamp for Android is available now in the Android Market. Check back soon for a full review.
