# Webamp



A reimplementation of Winamp in HTML5 and JavaScript with full skin support.

As seen on [TechCrunch], [Motherboard], [Gizmodo], Hacker News ([1], [2], [3], [4]), and [elsewhere](./packages/webamp/docs/press.md).

Check out this [Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/captbaritone/status/961274714013319168) for an illustrated list of features. Works in modern versions of Edge, Firefox, Safari and Chrome. IE is [not supported](http://caniuse.com/#feat=audio-api).



## Read the docs



**The [Webamp Documentation](https://docs.webamp.org) site contains detailed instructions showing how to add Webamp to your site and customize it to meet your needs.**



## About This Repository



Webamp uses a [monorepo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp): The [Webamp NPM module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webamp)

- [`packages/webamp/demo`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp/demo): The demo site which lives at [webamp.org](https://webamp.org)

- [`packages/webamp-docs`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp-docs): The documentation site for Webamp the NPM library which lives at [docs.webamp.org](https://docs.webamp.org)

- [`packages/ani-cursor`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/ani-cursor): An NPM module for rendering animiated `.ani` cursors as CSS animations

- [`packages/skin-database`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/skin-database): The server component of https://skins.webamp.org which also runs our [Twitter bot](https://twitter.com/winampskins), and a Discord bot for our community chat

- [`packages/winamp-eqf`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/winamp-eqf): An NPM module for parsing and constructing Winamp equalizer preset files (`.eqf`)

- [`packages/webamp-modern`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/packages/webamp-modern): A prototype exploring rendering "modern" Winamp skins in the browser

- [`examples`](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/tree/master/examples): A few examples showing how to use the NPM module

Thank you to [Justin Frankel](http://www.1014.org/) and everyone at Nullsoft

for Winamp which inspired so many of us.



## License



While the Winamp name, interface, and, sample audio file are surely property of

Nullsoft, the code within this project is released under the [MIT

License](LICENSE.txt). That being said, if you do anything interesting with

this code, please let me know. I'd love to see it.



## Development



This repository uses [Turborepo](https://turbo.build/) for efficient monorepo management. Turborepo provides intelligent caching and parallel execution of tasks across all packages.



### Quick Start



```bash

# Install dependencies

pnpm install



# Build all packages (automatically handles dependencies)

npx turbo build



# Build library bundles for packages that need them

npx turbo build-library



# Run all tests

npx turbo test



# Lint and type-check all packages

npx turbo lint type-check



# Work on a specific package and its dependencies

npx turbo dev --filter="webamp"

```



### Package Dependencies



The monorepo dependency graph is automatically managed by Turborepo:



- `ani-cursor` and `winamp-eqf` are standalone packages built with TypeScript

- `webamp` depends on both `ani-cursor` and `winamp-eqf` for workspace linking

- All packages are built in the correct topological order

- Builds are cached and only rebuild what has changed



### Available Tasks



- `build` - Main build output (Vite for demos, TypeScript compilation for libraries)

- `build-library` - Library bundles for NPM publishing (only applies to `webamp`)

- `test` - Run unit tests with Jest

- `type-check` - TypeScript type checking without emitting files

- `lint` - ESLint code quality checks

- `dev` - Development server (for packages that support it)



For more details on individual packages, see their respective README files.
