Winamp Invites Developers to Shape Its Future

The iconic music player opens its source code to vetted contributors, aiming to evolve while retaining corporate control.

Winamp will release its source code to selected developers under the 'FreeLlama' initiative.
The company will still own and manage the official version of the software.
A new mobile app is set to launch in July, expanding Winamp's presence beyond desktop.
The open-source initiative is not fully open; contributors will be vetted and may face NDAs.
Winamp continues to blend nostalgia with new features, targeting both old and new users.
