Webamp is a browser-based reimplementation of the classic Winamp 2 audio player, built with HTML5 and the Web Audio API, with full support for original Winamp skins. It is distributed as an npm library for embedding in websites, plus a demo site and related packages for skins, cursors, and equalizer presets.
Use cases
- embed a retro Winamp-style music player in my website
- play MP3s in the browser with a Winamp 2 skin
- recreate the classic Winamp interface on the web
- load and render Winamp .wsz skins in a web app
- parse Winamp equalizer preset .eqf files
- build a nostalgic audio player demo page
When to choose
- you want an authentic Winamp 2 experience in the browser with skin support
- you need an embeddable, customizable web audio player with a retro UI
- you want to programmatically interact with Winamp skins or preset files
When to avoid
- you need a modern, minimal audio player UI
- you need Winamp plugin compatibility or 'modern' skin support (only a prototype)
- you require IE support or native desktop playback
