Winamp for Creators launches Winamp Academy

14 April 2025

In its ongoing mission to better serve independent artists and music professionals, Winamp for Creators proudly announces the launch of the Winamp Academy.

Winamp for Creators aims to bring together all the essential tools and services artists need to manage and monetize their music — all in one platform. The vision is simple: to simplify the lives of creators in an industry that has become increasingly complex and fragmented. Artists deserve to regain control over their art, and the best way to achieve this is through a unified platform that empowers them every step of the way.

From monetization tools like distribution, copyright collection, licensing, content ID, and digital collectibles, to fan engagement features like a dedicated fan zone and marketing support, Winamp for Creators is taking on the ambitious challenge of integrating all these must-haves into one affordable and easy-to-use ecosystem.

The Winamp Academy is designed to guide creators through this powerful platform. Through a series of step-by-step video tutorials, artists will learn how to navigate and make the most of Winamp’s tools to grow their careers. The long-term vision of the Academy is also to train a new generation of Winamp for Creators specialists — professionals who can collaborate with artists to manage and optimize their presence on the platform.

“The Winamp Academy has always been part of our vision and something we were committed to launching alongside Winamp for Creators,”says Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Winamp.

“It’s essential for our community to feel supported. We believe in the power of education and collaboration.”
