Winamp for OS/X

A winamp clone for os/x - interested in learning swift, and wanted a stable version of winamp for os/x - two itches scratched
mabedan•1h ago
Nice. Maybe next step can be integration with one of the music services
antonyh•53m ago
Apple Music would seem the obvious choice.
asimovDev•45m ago
What was the most fun and least fun you had while learning Swift for this project?

I remember having trouble making a Swift UI for my C app because I forgot to disable sandboxing in Xcode project settings. Spent a frustrating two hours debugging

andreww_young•3h ago
Memories from over 20 years ago, but later I switched to foobar. I prefer foobar's simple interface. Does anyone still remember foobar?
accrual•1h ago
I do! I also went from Winamp to Foobar 2000 for a few years.

Then I discovered an actively maintained modern patch for the final Winamp called WACUP, and now I'm back to daily driving that instead. :)

It's still being actively developed

I've never seen os x written like that. I assumed it was a version of os/2 I had never heard of.
tonyedgecombe•1h ago
Not only that but it hasn't been called OS/X for nearly a decade.
dylan604•1h ago
was it ever called OS/X?
Wowfunhappy•46m ago
It was called OS X and/or Mac OS X.

But now, not only is it not branded OS X, but it’s literally not at version 10 anymore. (The X was a roman numeral.)

dylan604•41m ago
It was a rhetorical question. Yes, I'm well aware it was OS X and that it was never referred to as OS/X
deathwarmedover•1h ago
I wondered initially if this was a winamp port for older macs.

It requires macOS 13.0 (High Sierra, 2017) or later, which is several releases after it stopped being called OS X. 10.11 (El Capitan, 2015) was the last OS X.

Jeremy1026•1h ago
The repo only goes back a week. I just think OP hasn't kept up with Apple's naming conventions.
Wowfunhappy•44m ago
Careful! High Sierra is actually macOS 10.13. (I personally would accept someone referring to High Sierra as “OS X” because it’s still version 10 of the Macintosh OS, even if Apple dropped that branding a few years earlier.)

By contrast, macOS 13 is Ventura, from 2022.

rollcat•4m ago
As an occasional enjoyer of OS X 10.5 on PowerPC, I can recommend... iTunes. It is actually really decent, as is most of Jobs-era stuff.

I don't have anything to play FLAC or Vorbis, but the machine has more urgent problems... <https://www.rollc.at/posts/2024-07-02-tibook/>

jonhohle•1h ago
Not taking anything away from the project, which looks very cool, but it also probably doesn’t compile on OS X. Looks like minimum macOS version is 13.

IBM won the long game. They secretly acquired Apple, but you weren't meant to know that yet. Not even Tim Cook knows. Big Blue's lawyers will be writing politely to the author of this project, and teaming up with the gutted remains of Nullsoft to sue them for copyright infringement.
wheybags•1h ago
Of course they mean OS/X Warp, the Apple x IBM OS collaboration the world forgot.

Pretty misleading headline. This isn't actually Winamp. It's someone's attempt at a clone.
antonyh•51m ago
It's a clone with a stolen name, and given that it's not been abandoned it's likely they'll come down on this like a bag of hammers.
littlecranky67•1h ago
Great project, I am using Audacious from homebrew with an XMMS skin to recreate the experience - but it struggles with HiRes displays amongst other things.

You should, however, change the name. I am pretty sure the name Winamp is trademarked and you can get into legal trouble.

BruceEel•1h ago
Nice! Speaking of Winamp - are you using any alternative music player for iOS that you would recommend?
randomgermanguy•1h ago
I started using https://github.com/kushalpandya/Petrichor a while ago.

Though design is more akin to the default Apple Music app than WinAmp.

BruceEel•55m ago
Interesting! Will be checking it out.

Does not use the macOS standard toolkit or comply with Apple user interface guidelines.

One MacWorld mouse out of five.

hirako2000•57m ago
The original likely infringed all Windows design principles.

Yet they pulled off one of the most usable media player.

Wowfunhappy•47m ago
Windows users don’t care about Windows design principles because there basically aren’t any.

Would you expect a WinAmp clone to comply with Apple's user interface guidelines?

No source "freeware", would you trust a binary from a random Russian developer to not contain/deliver a trojan?

Would you trust a binary from a random developer to not contain/deliver a trojan? Russianness has nothing to do with it.
Dwedit•55m ago
The page itself has a more accurate description (Winamp *clone* in swift for OS/X) than the headline here.

Since the actual Winamp had a questionable source code release, it could feasibly have been ported to other platforms, so we need to know that it is in fact a clone, and not a port of the real Winamp.

shevy-java•49m ago
I liked winamp when I was using windows.

I think any winamp clone should run on OSX Windows and Linux.

I understand that cross-platform code may be annoying, but we really need applications that work on the three main operating systems.

antonyh•48m ago
If it doesn't run on Windows, how can it call itself Winamp? Macosamp makes more sense.
rollcat•13m ago
OS/Xamp perhaps.

Joking aside, there's Audacious[1], which is an excellent and cross-platform player, with support for Winamp skins. Also check out WebAmp[2] and the skin museum[3].

[MacAMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAmp) was real and official, directly from Nullsoft, a million years ago.
agildehaus•27m ago
reAmp (https://re-amp.ru/) is a faithful recreation as well, but no updates since 2020 (and not OSS)
