The service now supports playing audio- and video-NFT standards ERC-721 and ERC-1155 after connecting to the Winamp wallet MetaMask via Brave, Chrome or Firefox.

“The new version of Winamp allows people to listen to any file using a player they already love,” said the company’s CEO Alexander Sabunjan.

The Winamp team also announced updates that will make Winamp a universal and the most advanced library for listening. The service is slated for launch in early 2023.

In the meantime, the music Web3 platform LGND Music entered into a partnership with Warner Music Group and Polygon. The parties will promote musical NFTs from January 2023.
