For those looking for a quick dose of nostalgia, I wrote a reimplementation of Winamp 2.9, which you can load in your browser: https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/ https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/ It even supports skins (just drag the .zip/.wsz file over the player).

This is wonderful! Thanks for making it. Is this a wrapper around the browser's default audio API?

  Correct. You can see all the We Audio API stuff here: https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js/blob/master/js/media.js https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js/blob/master/js/me...

Looks cool. Time travelling.

  And it's built on Redux, so you can time travel in that way too! ;) https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools https://github.com/gaearon/redux-devtools

Nice! I wish you had a button to show it in 2X or 4X size. Winamp looks tiny now, but back in 2000 everyone had low resolution screens, so Winamp had to be tiny or it would fill up the whole screen.

  It does! Winamp had a "double" mode, and I've reproduced it faithfully. Try clicking the tiny "D" to the left of the visualization area.

Awesome it works with skins, I dug out ArcticAmp skin + it looks fantastic. Any plans to get the playlist to work ?

  I do! You can see the work in progress here: https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/#playlist https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/#playlist Much of he UI works, (lots of subtle problems solved, like window snapping, tiling of individial sprites from the sprite sheets, etc) but updating the media component to work with multiple files will probably require a non-trivial amount of work. If anyone wants to help out, let me know. Otherwise, slow and steady wins the race
