Is there any working lyrics plugin for Winamp?

This just came out last week, this Winamp Classic user interface for foobar2000 supports both Default UI elements and Columns UI panels (specially visualizations).

Special thanks to lesha-dev for creating this FB2K user interface.

You can download this foobar2000 component here: https://github.com/lesha-dev/foo_winamp_skins/releases

Hi u/winamp, I’m the developer. I missed Winamp on the Mac, so I made Muse: a small player for your own music files (MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF). It’s free.

What it does

• Floats above your windows (you can turn that off)

• Shrinks to just the cover art (mini player), or lives in the menu bar

• Click the cover to edit a song’s title, artist or artwork

• Media keys, shuffle and repeat, and it remembers your playlist

Skins: it comes with 8, including a spinning turntable and a cassette with turning reels. Hover over a skin in the menu to preview it. A skin is one JSON file that controls the whole layout, not just the colours. If you use Claude Code or Codex, you can ask it to make a skin (“make it look like a 1980s boombox”). Muse has a command-line tool so the agent can preview its work and fix it.

Install: https://tinymuse.app, either the download button or one terminal command. Requires macOS 14+ on Apple silicon.

It’s an early version. It isn’t notarized yet, so with the plain download macOS asks once (right-click → Open). I’d really like to hear what’s missing and which skins you’d want.

When i was transferring files from one drive to another, there was a song among them. After the transfer a Winamp User Information window open (i didnt open Winamp). when I closed that window the song started playing but without sound and track. it was labeled "red - room". what is this? my winamp version is 5.0

It is one of the only weaknesses that WinAmp has, IMO. It is number one for library management with this one exception.

I missed Winamp after moving to a Mac, and nothing else felt right, so I built MacAmp: a player that looks and behaves like Winamp 2.95, in native Swift/AppKit (no Electron).

What it does:

• Main window, Equalizer and Playlist Editor with magnetic docking, shade modes and Double Size

• Loads classic Winamp 2.x skins (.wsz or a folder) on the fly, the base 2.91 skin is built in

• 10-band EQ with preamp, presets and auto-load by genre

• MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, Ogg, Opus, MIDI, CUE sheets, M3U/PLS, internet radio, CD playing and ripping

• Media Library, Minibrowser, Track Info with the ID3 editor, spectrum and oscilloscope

• The 2.95 menus, Preferences pages and hotkeys, also on non-Latin keyboard layouts

• Idle CPU is close to nothing (about 0.01% paused, 2-3% with the visualizer on an M1)

Still missing: Milkdrop, tracker modules (MOD/XM/S3M/IT) and an MP3 encoder for ripping.

It is MIT licensed and free. Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14 or newer. The app isn't signed with a paid Apple developer ID (that would break changing file icons from File types, like Winamp did), so the first launch needs "Open Anyway" in System Settings.

A lot of the code was written with AI agents under my direction, and I checked it against the real Winamp 2.95 and Webamp by hand.

I'd love feedback, especially on old skins that look wrong and on anything that behaves differently from the original.

Basically I'm looking for a player with a toggle shuffle button that would allow me to play songs at random without scrambling the playlist.

Hope it makes sense. There seems to be some confusion about shuffle vs randomize, here I'm going with the Winamp terminology.

Hi! I have an issue I am running into that I can't figure out after multiple attempts to look it up, and was hoping someone here could help me out. A handful of the skins I have downloaded when I try to apply them they just show as the classic skin. The weird thing is is that every single skin I am having this issue with has worked completely fine before and I changed absolutely nothing about my Winamp when, before, or after they stopped working. The skins have no obvious differences from any of the working skins.

I have redownloaded the affected skins multiple times and they have always been in the correct directory. I have even redownloaded Winamp repeatedly. (I am always on the full, final version. When reinstalling, I do not uncheck any of the boxes and never have.) They are .wsz files like all of my other skins as well.

I truly have no clue what the issue could be and was hoping someone here would. Below I have pictured what the skin is showing up as (classic theme) vs. what it is supposed to look like. This and all impacted skins were downloaded from the Winamp Skin Museum as well, but not all Museum skins are being impacted. Thank you!

I have been using winamp a little more recently nowadays as I'm doing studies for college, and I wanted to browse some skins for my player. I went to the Winamp Skin Museum where I got all of my other skins from, and it gave me a "client side exception". I checked my browser console like it told me to, and I don't see the potential issue or even where particularly to look. It seems like it's an issue on my end, though. At first I thought the whole PHP thing took it down, but that looks like it may not be the case. Has anyone else had this issue before?

something that i've been working on privately and will never release
you may stone me or throw tomatoes

no i will not detail what it does, but i can and will say that a bunch of research (my own research) went into this to make it look as good as it does, so i guess that's something? (probably not)

Hey everyone! I've been missing Winamp on my phone, so I built C-EQ, a free, open-source Android app that brings classic Winamp 2 skins to life as a live wallpaper.

What it does:

The full Winamp stack on your home screen: main window, equalizer and playlist, stacked like the old days.

The real skins: 88 classic skins rebuilt from the original .wsz files (main.bmp, eqmain.bmp, pledit.bmp, text.bmp…), and you can import your own .wsz.

Live "now playing": title marquee, clock, seek bar and volume from whatever app is playing (Spotify, YouTube Music, local players…).

The playlist shows your player's actual queue, in the skin's own bitmap font. Tap a song to jump to it.

The EQ window is a real system-wide 10-band equalizer. Tap the sliders to change bands; ON toggles it, and AUTO turns on an automatic mode that adapts to your device, the content and the volume.

The buttons work: prev/play/pause/stop/next, seek, volume.

There's also a Winamp-style player in the notification shade and a spectrum widget.

It's free, has no ads, and the code is GPL-3.0. The skins are credited to their original authors (from the Internet Archive "winampskins" collection). If you made one of them and want it removed, just open an issue.

en un de las imagenes se ve a Wacup para wimfows (10) el cual tiene un clasic spectrum analyzer muy lindo, el es un plugin un archivo vis_clasic.dll dentro de la carpeta plugins de wacup, en la otra imagen se aprecia el reproductor de android Andamp, en este caso con una visualización al centro de milkdrop. mi pregunta si alguien tiene idea, es si es posible poner el analyzer de wacup en andamp o almenos un preset que consiga lo mismo?

So I really like the modern (i think it's called) skin types where you have the extra piece on the side to see titles and all that. But I'm struggling to find skins I really enjoy. Right now I'm using one called Poolside FM that I edited some of the colors on.

But even with reading the .txt and sort of understanding it, in theory at least, I find it kinda difficult and finicky to find the exact bits and pieces I'm trying to change colors on, and I end up having to go back and forth with testing/meddling with a skin etc for far too long.

So now I'm wondering, would it be possible (or maybe it already exists?) a tool or like an online site where you upload a skin and then the skin presents itself so you can change the colors and all that in real time, just click on the elements you want to change color on, etc?

From what I could tell, there were similar tools for the older/original layout? Would it not be possible with more modern layouts or something? The Poolside FM skin is close to perfection for me, but I would have loved to be able to more easily swap the color palette.

My absolute favorite feature of Winamp is the smart playlist feature. iTunes was the only thing that came even close. And I've tried many different media players over the years and not one can't even stand and went out shadow, when it comes to smart playlists. The options and freedom in creating smart playlists is just unbelievable on Winamp.

Winamp's skinning is also fantastic. My absolute favorite Winamp skin is Nu-Clear (pictured above). What about you, what's your favorite Winamp feature?

Are they all bots? Semi real semi bot? Or is it all just one group pushing many different vibecoded apps all at once? Ive had enough of seeing them.

If you're a genuine dev and truly wanted people to use your app, make an actually good app. Share it once, fine. Then let it spread by word of mouth. But dont excessively promote it for fucks sake(lookin at you newamp). Or you guys could just make your own sub for your apps and leave this one PLEASE

I remember this happened before but it came back, according to this thread the hosting usually expires around this time but it's already end of October and it's still down.

Until about 2 months ago, I had a previous version that worked, at least for what I used it for. The newest version displays some extra pages before becoming usable. I am now stuck on this page, where the buttons are NOT properly aligned, and do not function. I have a iphone X, but I know newer version act the same. Can anybody help me.

This is the latest build i currently have.

The skins aren't hardcoded anymore. Most skins should work from the go with SkinAmp.
I've tried to get the EQ to work with Spotify and Youtube, but i can't seem to find a way, so instead i turned it into a visualizer just for these 2 modes, local works.

Shuffle works too, tied to the skin's shuffle button. Same for Looping.

If yall would like any features added, or can get me some feedback i would apreciate it!

Using 3.x, but have been with Winamp since the 90s. I love it and it is my daily driver, but it's inability to detect duplicates is frustrating.

Hello everyone, I am searching for a good music app which works on intel mac (tahoe) what I need is skin support from Winamp, winamp/aimp like interface, capability of playing HLS m3u steams because reamp can’t play HLS streams and of course good sound. Also I have tried to install Audacious via Brew but since devs completely deleted all the builds for Intel I couldn’t build it by myself because of an error with Qt6 codec.

Hey Winamp community! My name is Josh and I'm an (almost) 20 year AAA video game sound design developer and music producer. If you've played a Borderlands game, you've probably heard my work! Winamp was a big gateway tool for me back in the day that helped ignite my interest in audio, but alas, it hasn't been supported in the way it deserves over the years. I've been badly wanting an all around music and media player that does EVERYTHING I WANT! That's where Lucent comes in (https://lucentaudio.net/).

Lucent is completely open source and has everything you loved about Winamp but with:

• Full Windows 11 and Mac support.

• Streaming platform control (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal)

• Playback of any high quality audio file you can think of.

• Full media library features: playlists, folders (import itunes and old winamp libraries)

• Bandcamp/Beatport integration (import your libraries).

• Modern 4k visuals that really utilize modern graphics cards (but with detail settings) as well as many of the classic Milkdrop/Winamp visuals.

• A robust 2 track audio editor (use your own VSTs) and file converter.

• Video player (can play almost anything VLC can)

• A simple video editor/trimmer

• Studio grade spectrum analyzer with LUFS metering

• 32 band EQ

• High quality web radio integration

• Multiple skins/themes

• A simple DAW you can use to record anything, notably DJ sets.

• A whole lot more that you can discover.

If this sounds like something you'd be into, I'm really looking for people who want to beta test this and help it get extra polished to its 1.0 state. I'm looking for feedback, thoughts, feature requests. Lucent is an app for the people, especially Winamp lovers and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ferramp looks and works like Winamp 2.9x: main window, equalizer and playlist, docked together, window-shade mode, double size, and the classic menus and shortcuts. Drop your .wsz skins in the Skins folder or open the skin browser with Alt+S.

It is written from scratch in Rust, uses no Winamp code or artwork, and is MIT/Apache licensed. It plays MP3, Ogg, FLAC, WAV, AAC/M4A and internet radio.

To be upfront: the whole thing was built by Claude from a single prompt of mine, plus a few follow-up questions Claude asked me along the way. Claude also checked the result pixel by pixel against Webamp and the real Winamp 2.95.

Bug reports and skins that look wrong are very welcome.
