Winamp is designed to get you up and running quickly with one-click buttons to import your library from iTunes or from the Mac OS default music folder.

As a bonus, there are a good number of library playback and management features. The number one goal for this first (beta) release is to provide a robust sync solution for Mac desktop and Android phone users leveraging our very popular and industry best Winamp for Android music manager. Nullsoft reports that many more features are coming soon and promises a 'new long-term commitment to the Mac OS platform.' What would you like to see in future updates of Winamp for Mac? Can you see it becoming a major rival for iTunes or will its lack of features (and inability to sync with the iPod, iPhone and iPad, which isn't realistically going to change in the future) mean it's destined merely for cult status? Let us know in the comments section below.AOL-Nullsoft launched Winamp for Mac Sync Beta, the first Winamp application for the Mac. It says the basic playback and library management features will be expanded upon soon (which'll be nice, because there's no shuffle play option or tweakable EQ at the moment). While it's early days for Winamp on Mac, the company promises that this beta release is only the beginning for the platform. Prefer to do things the old-fashioned way? Wired syncing is supported too, natch. The app lets you then sync music (either the entire library or selected playlists) with your Winamp-equipped Android phone: just make sure your mobile and your Mac are on the same Wi-Fi network and the phone should pop up in Devices - you can then pair them and sync the music over wirelessly. There's also a 'Keep Updated' option that scans the default music folder on your Mac every time the app starts up, adding any new music or playlists that have appeared - you can also specify other folders for the app to keep tabs on. This is primarily a music sync solution for users of Android phones, although there are playback and library management features chucked in.Īfter installing the app, you can import your Mac's iTunes music through a single click. Winamp for Mac Sync Beta is the first Winamp app for Mac, but it's only really a taster of the PC edition's three course meal. Winamp has long been a favourite music library-cum-player for PC users, especially those looking for an alternative to iTunes - and now it's appeared on the Mac.
