    Winamp wants your ideas.

    The company announced that it’s “opening up its source code” and invites developers to contribute to the Windows version of its music player. It’s also releasing a mobile app in July. As ZDNet points out, the company will still own and decide what goes into the official version.

    Winamp didn’t immediately reply to a request for more information, like whether and what open-source license it’ll use.

    Your iPhone trade-ins might be a little more valuable on Monday.

    Apple retail stores will offer a little more money for iPhone trade-ins in the US and Canada for people upgrading to the iPhone 15 series of phones from May 20th to June 3rd, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

    He didn’t say what the new values will be. At the moment, the most Apple offers is $630 for an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

    YouTube Music looks a little nicer on iOS now.

    The app’s “Now Playing” screen has a gradient background now, as 9to5Google spotted. Also, the three tabs at the bottom aren’t on a visually separate bar anymore, though you can still swipe up to reveal them.

    If you don’t see it at first, try swiping the app closed from the app switcher and relaunching — worked for me.

    Saddle up for Red Dead Redemption II on PlayStation Plus.

    Rockstar’s hit open-world western will hit the catalog on May 21st, along with Watch Dogs and The Sims 4’s City Living expansion, according to the PlayStation blog.

    But as Sony giveth, it also taketh away — Horizon Zero Dawn is indeed going back into the vault the same day. Maybe when we see it next, it’ll be remastered.

    So many iOS emulators.

    RetroArch, a long-running (and very good) emulator frontend, is waiting for Apple to green-light it for the App Store, according to one of its developers. PPSSPP, a well-known PSP emulator, is also in the approval queue, its developer told The Verge via email.

    And that’s not all! Another multi-system emulator (Nintendo 3DS, DS, GBA) called Folium is also awaiting approval. There are yet others — see this list on Reddit.
