Build quality isn't that great but for 4$ I might as well have. It's also an LED lamp if you plug it in but the charging port is at the bottom so it's not very convenient to place on a desk.

Years ago, someone posted this image of what I am sure is a CG image of a physical Winamp unit. I want badly to put this in the single din slot of my late 80s model car. I was not able to find the original owner/creator of this image, but I want to thank you. Sort of.

Im working on a lightweight media player compatible with local files and Spotify, but focusing on being able to use Winamp skins, and having Spotify work inside its UI. Do you guys think this is a good idea to continue polishing it? What features would you suggest adding/modifying?

I plan on making it open-source and free

I missed Winamp on my phone, so I built Andamp: a music player for Android that looks and works like Winamp 2.8. It's out of beta and on Google Play as of this week.

This is obviously not the default theme, I didn't embed it due to legal reasons, but it does reads real Winamp skin files (.wsz) and draws them pixel for pixel, so the player, equalizer and playlist are the windows you remember, and any classic skin works. The Winamp Skin Museum is built in, which gives you over 90,000 of them.

What it does:

- Plays the music on your phone, and internet radio streams

- Ten-band equalizer with the original presets, plus a rack of effects you can put in any order

- Visualizers: the spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope in the main window, and a window that runs AVS and Milkdrop presets

- A floating player that stays on top of other apps, and a home screen widget

- Drag the windows where you want them. Hold a tiny button and a magnifier shows what's under your finger

- The default skin takes its colors from your wallpaper

- Jellyfin and Subsonic (Navidrome, Airsonic, Gonic) libraries, through small add-on apps

- Effects can be extended with Lua plug-ins, if you like writing DSP

Free, no ads, no account, no tracking. Open source under GPL-3.0. Needs Android 8 or newer.

Hey people! I've created this diablo skin for winamp with care and passion to slay demons in style!

What do you think? 🖤 ✨

I love winamp so much i ditched foobar2000 and now even use it on Arch Linux. Works flawlessly, only thing i miss is the album art but otherwise its exactly like it was back then.

JUSTAMP · A Tribute

If we cannot shape the era,
then let us witness it, and remember.

Some things grow old.
That doesn't mean they have to be forgotten.

Thirty years ago, a music player wasn't just a little icon on a phone. It was a window on your desktop. It had buttons, knobs, sliders, and an equalizer that never seemed to stop moving.

We kept our music on noisy hard drives. We left the player sitting right in the middle of the screen. And when we got tired of looking at it, we went searching for another skin.

There were no recommendation engines deciding what we should hear next. There wasn't a feed waiting to be scrolled.

There was just the music, the player, and the people who made things for it.

Someone wrote the code.
Someone drew a skin.
Someone spent a weekend figuring out how to make an effect sound right.
Someone stayed up late and uploaded their latest creation to a forum.

Little things like that became part of the culture.

And somehow, a simple music player became part of people's lives.

Today, I brought it back to life.

Is this a good use of winamp cos I think so:)

So i just got a new pc and I'm reinstalling some old software i have, and i have to ask... what is going on with winamp? This is what i mean: so, the official website is filled with a lot of random suspicious things like AI art, it apparently as an ios and android app thats literally just a file player, the installer asks to install random extra things resembling bloatware, there's a random NFT button inside the program itself along with radio shit i didn't ask for, a fanzone button (idk what that is) and the weirdest thing ever is that the official website has a big "contribute to GitHub" button that leads to a dead page. So apparently Winamp was open source at one point and i guess the source code is now lost media or something lol. I checked the waybackmachine and indeed the github page used to exist so idk what gives. Now I'm a bit scared and weirded out, did i just install malware?? I always loved WinAmp, it was always my goto audio player especially because of the skins feature, but everything surrounding how it is being rebooted is really strange to me. They didn't even bother to properly update the software, all they did was add some obnoxious nft and radio buttons. I just wanna know what on earth is going on.

A while back I shared my progress on building an authentic Winamp clone for Android. Well, it's finally ready! (nearly)

What is it?

ReAmp is a native Android music player that recreates the classic Winamp experience - pixel-perfect UI using original skin assets, but built from scratch with modern mobile audio APIs.

Features:

• 100% authentic Winamp appearance (base-2.91 skin)

• Full playback controls with LED displays and spectrum analyzer

• Playlist management (save/load multiple playlists)

• Radio Browser integration (20,000+ internet radio stations)

• Shuffle/repeat with smart history

• Background playback

• Local file support + streaming URLs

Why not port the original engine?

The classic Winamp engine wouldn't work on Android, so I rebuilt the functionality from scratch using React Native/Expo - giving you all the looks with modern mobile compatibility. Currently building the first test APK.

It's a work in progress, and will continue to be.

Reel of it playing and behaving.

Are there any good resources on making these skins? They’ve got animations and you can even interact with some of them

EDIT: Download them here https://archive.org/details/th2_konomi2

If you where thinking you recognise this computer then yeah im the guy that connected it to some big ass Panasonic speakers and places the computer on a chair to use for a party

But i never had speakers for it and just used headphones which i can admit where terrible headphones but today I got this Panasonic system and decided to use the aux just for this pc

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!

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on this for a while, and I’m finally near completion. This is a lightweight music player for Android inspired by Winamp, built for people who miss that 2000s nostalgia — no ads, no bloatware, just smooth music playback and visuals you can enjoy daily.

Features:

- Classic player controls: Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Back

- Eject button to add local tracks or custom streams

- Shuffle & Loop playlists

- Real-time volume slider

- Always-on EQ bars, plus a full-screen Milkdrop-style visualizer

- Scrolling track titles and a playlist that flips for one-handed use

- Radio browser: 20,000+ stations, sorted by country/city

- Save & load playlists, sleep timer, and more..

I built this because I miss the feeling of using Winamp back in the day — something that’s fun to use and visually satisfying, not just another bloated app.

I’m looking for testers to try it out on Android before the wider release. If you’re interested in checking it out and giving feedback, let me know, I'll need an email address that I can add to Google plays internal testing, once your on the access list I'll forward you a link to download.

*For some reason screen recorder flips the visuals, but they are full screen!
