  Speaking specifically about Webamp, it is a manual reimplementation in JavaScript. But we did use Wasm as a tool for the music visualizer: https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/speeding-up-winamps-music-visualizer-with-webassembly/ https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/speeding-up-winamps-music-vi...

    that's awesome, I'll check it out. hopefully the WebAudioAPI has gotten better to work with over the years
    • captbaritone 4y ago
      The web audio api code is mostly in this directory: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp/js/media https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/...

    Amazing stuff! Especially the https://github.com/captbaritone/eel-wasm https://github.com/captbaritone/eel-wasm part. It's great to be able to salvage all this internet history and keep it alive and going.

      This was a thing nearly 10 years ago on windows, not sure if it still works https://spotiamp-lightweight-spotify-player.en.uptodown.com/windows https://spotiamp-lightweight-spotify-player.en.uptodown.com/...

      Webamp has been used to do something like this: https://winampify.io/ https://winampify.io/ (Required paid Spotify account)
