A reimplementation of Winamp 2.9 in HTML5 and JavaScript with full skin support. As seen on TechCrunch, Motherboard, Gizmodo, Hacker News (1, 2, 3, 4), and elsewhere.

Check out this Twitter thread for an illustrated list of features. Works in modern versions of Edge, Firefox, Safari and Chrome. IE is not supported.

Here is the most minimal example of adding Webamp to a page:

<div id="app"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/webamp"></script>
<script>
    const app = document.getElementById("app")
    const webamp = new Webamp();
    webamp.renderWhenReady(app);
</script>

For more examples, including how to add audio files, check out examples/ directory and the API documentation.

Webamp uses a monorepo approach, so in addition to the Webamp NPM module, this repository contains code for a few closely related projects and some pieces of Webamp which are published as standalone modules:

• packages/webamp: The Webamp NPM module
• packages/webamp/demo: The demo site which lives at webamp.org
• packages/ani-cursor: An NPM module for rendering animiated .ani cursors as CSS animations
• packages/skin-database: The server component of https://skins.webamp.org which also runs our Twitter bot, and a Discord bot for our community chat
• packages/skin-museum-client: The front-end component of https://skins.webamp.org.
• packages/winamp-eqf: An NPM module for parsing and constructing Winamp equalizer preset files (.eqf)
• packages/archive-org-webamp-integration-tests: An integration that confirms that archive.org's Webamp integration is working as expected
• packages/webamp-modern: A prototype exploring rendering "modern" Winamp skins in the browser
• examples: A few examples showing how to use the NPM module

Thank you to Justin Frankel and everyone at Nullsoft for Winamp which inspired so many of us.
