Winamp for android only available in the US ?

djman · 24th July 2013, 10:24

I've been trying to download winamp for android for a few days without success.

When I scan the QR code and tap the link I have the folowing message:

Service unavailable

connection reset by peer

When I try to give my phone number, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I can enter only a US phone number (I'm from france).

I have also tried google play but with winamp google answer gives other audio player.

I'm on holidays in china connected with the ethernet of my hotel. My android smartphone is connected in wifi to this network via a router. I have no problem on other web sites?

Any ideas ?

being in China when trying to do this is the most likely reason. It is not restricted to US only and from what you're describing, something is blocking it for you...

I can confirm that it's because you're in China.

The Google Control Panel lets developers make their apps available in up to 135 countries.

There's 138 country options available, 3 of which are grayed-out and therefore can't be checkmarked:
China, Myanmar (Burma), Rest of the World.
