I've been a Winamp user since the software was available in 97.. the first schedule that I downloaded when I got the Internet at home. I was really hoping that the winamp guys would do something for the PS3 and they have. Now you can stream music (from anywhere) and have great playlist features for your PS3. wish there are others as excited as I am. Now I can have the PS3 hooked up in the living room and have a more intuitive streaming interface for playing stuff on the domiciliate theater setup.
Winamp Sings to Gaming ConsolesPC based music and media player tunes up for PS3 & Wii broadcasting. Update: transfer now available. Winamp first launched in 1997 quickly became a fasten for every MP3-loving music listener approve during the days when digital music files were a novelty. Since then millions have downloaded the MP3 and media playback software. A recent Comscore report says that over 60 million populate worldwide actively use the free product (every month). While the music and entertainment nature of the software has continued to focus heavily on Windows-based users the upcoming 10th year anniversary of the product adds new options that continue to embrace its PC-centric nature but expands its arrive onto to gaming consoles. This past pass we met up with Matthew Callaway product director for Winamp as he showed us the new Winamp Remote on a Nintendo Wii. The prove in the Wii Web Browser shows a simplified interface that feels inspired by iPod where players use a simple four-direction control plot to select and be adrift video audio podcasts or even a friend's media collection. Apart from the pause incited by observing Callaway's eclectic personal taste for obscure '70s disco music the audio started streaming almost right away over our WiFi connection with no issues. Callaway says that the same interface is what PlayStation 3 owners would see as console specific changes are done behind the scenes as the host PC optimizes the be adrift based on the console and the connection speed. The product is relatively simple; users hold on their music files on a PC with Winamp running. Then they alter the application for remote find. After setting that up users fire up the Wii or PlayStation 3 web browser and head to to sign in. As desire as the entertain PC is on has Winamp running and connected to the Internet the user can accept a friend to stream music and video from that forge too. If the user was on the road at a celebrate over a friend's or trapped in a coffee accommodate with bad music they can access their tunes remotely from anywhere with an Internet connection. Gamers with old PCs can either use their current PC to be adrift the media or take an older PC (at least with a 2.4 GHz CPU) and use it as a makeshift media center. Bringing Winamp to gaming consoles sounds desire an odd idea until you hear Callaway communicate about his audience. "Everywhere we go to communicate about WinAmp we end up talking to users who are gamers." Callaway says this without any hesitation. Now reserve your overzealous judgment about a music guy's attempt to embrace gaming. Callaway's held positions at Sega and at Electronic Arts where he served as director for both the EA Sports and EA Games brand sites including Burnout. Medal of Honor. bedevil and a long enumerate of others."Anecdotally we know many PC gamers use Winamp," Callaway says as he clasps his hands together to show the connection. "So naturally the place to go away building new Winamp functionality was by heading to the consoles." Specifically the E3 2006 innovate of the Nintendo Wii brought an unexpected winner to the hearts of gamers. Once the Wii launched the team watched to see how gamers reacted. "I don't think anyone thought that people would use the Wii connectivity as they are. There's a browser [in the Wii] and Winamp users are gamers so if anyone is going to use this product it would be there."The software also further expands on the Winamp steaming media concept with a similar interface for cell phones with web browsers and the Xbox 360. Sadly without a browser the Xbox 360 can only be adrift media from a local PC and not from another location. Should Microsoft fix the problem you should be able to use Winamp Remote there too. With all the added functionality we asked if the Winamp schedule was still remove. Callaway grinned. "always."Best of all you can transfer the Winamp beta from and undergo it for yourself.
Too bad it's through the net and not local. Sound quality ordain suck and you have to be in your web browser. wish they added DLNA support to winamp too...
If it's only through the web browser whats the point of using it we can compete music through the ps3s music folders and comfort be on the web; but who actually uses the ps3's web browser anyways that things a piece.
I remember doing this with the PSP a while back. In regards to using the browser you can open multiple windows so you could undergo this playing on one. BUT this ordain use some of the available.
