Persistent Player Controls

The player controls are available from most screens of the Winamp for Android app. They provide consistent, intuitive and quick access to play/pause, previous/next song, the play queue, the Now Playing page and one-touch access back to the Home screen. When you first install the application the tutorial page will load to illustrate important features. To access the tutorial at a later date, go to the Home screen >> Menu >> Settings and select “Winamp In-app Help”. When finished, click the “Continue” button.
