I am very concerned about safety when installing software on my smartphone, so could I ask DrO, or DJ Egg or someone else from the Winamp team to post the md5sum for winamp.apk.
Doing so will allow me to verify that I have the correct file, and not something that contains malware. I realize that the links are probably safe, but at the same time, I would like to be 100% sure before installing a "non-play-store" apk.
I agree. I will not use Facebook for anything, do not have an account, never did, and never will. It is complete privacy breach! Why does Facebook have to involved? Just like I do not understand the almost universal involvement of Google and PlayStore in order to get apps, when they could be released by the developer.
I have been trying to put Winamp for Android on my phone for weeks now. Every time I look into it, it is the same thing; not available.
Can someone post a download link that does not involve Facebook ?????
Does anyone know the status of the return of the general availability of the app on the internet ?????
that link only works if you'd installed it before it was pulled from the app store as part of the close down / sale process. try it in a browser in private mode and you'll see what i mean.
If you have downloaded winamp from play store then just look in your play store history and find winamp. Click on it and it will let you download it. This has worked for me! But only if you downloaded it before they took it off market.
the file is already being hosted by someone else. but until a mass of things are sorted out, there will not be an 'official' download. all of this is covered in the main 'winamp news' thread in the main discussion forum (as the android forum was always a bit of a backwater when it was actively developed).

The file is being hosted on a Facebook account, which given past privacy issues and current reports of psychomanipulation, is banned from touching any computing device of mine as being very insecure and hazardous to one's health.
then you're going to have to wait for a new official release as based on what you've said, any archived version is insecure (as that's all that is available when it comes to getting the last AOL version of WAFA).
as no offence to llandyw, but i'd go with a facebook hosted download over someone who might have been registered on these forums for a year and a half longer than myself, i know far more about the people who are running that page than anyone of the many sites which popped up to host unknown archived copies of the Winamp clients.
