Signup NOW for a FREE year of the Winamp For Creators toolkit

The Winamp revival continues with the addition of a new platform to help creators connect with the 83 million fans that use the music listening platform.

The first 25,000 creators who sign up for Winamp For Creators will get a year of free access to the toolkit, exclusive perks, and a Creator Pass that will feature the legendary Winamp llama in 25 different guises inspired by music styles and genres.

The new platform will include distribution, royalty administration as well as subscriptions, and other direct-to-fan services. These first 25,000 signups will be the only artists to access until the full launch happens later this year.

“Winamp has long prided itself in creating the perfect place for fans to collect and enjoy their music,” explains Winamp CEO Alexandre Saboundjian. “Now creators can meet them there, forming direct connections right where many people are already listening—and where many more will soon join them. We’re offering creators control and transparency as they look for good ways to distribute, promote, and monetize their music.”

The first tools will become available next month, but signup starts today here.
