"To take on streaming"

In a partnership with Deezer, Winamp will be reborn as a completely new player with its own premium subscription service, with Deezer providing the white-label streaming technology and licensed catalog.

So, basically a nostalgic skin for Deezer.

And Deezer is owned by a Russian Oligarch who was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for profiting off of the war.

This is not the Winamp you're looking for.
