# Winamp2-js
A reimplementation of Winamp 2.9 in HTML5 and JavaScript.
Works in modern versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome. IE is [not
supported](http://caniuse.com/#feat=audio-api).
## Features
- Decodes the actual skin file in your browser so you can load your favorite
Winamp 2 skins!
- Load local audio or skin files via drag-and-drop, eject button, or "options"
button (upper left-hand corner)
- Both visualization modes: oscilloscope and spectrum
- Hotkeys
- "Shade" mini-mode
- "Doubled" mode, where the main window is twice as large: `Ctrl-D`
A more detailed list of features can be found in [features.md](./features.md).
## Development
yarn
# Or: npm install
npm start
Open `http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/` in your browser.
## Building
npm install
npm run build
Open `index.html` in your browser.
## Deploying
These commands assume you have an SSH key to my server, which you probably
don't have. Feel free to adapt them to your own server.
npm run deploy
### Reverting
npm run revert # Reverts quickly to the previous deploy
HASH=<SOME_GIT_HASH> npm run deploy # Runs a new deploy at a given hashlike.
### Advanced ussage
There are some "feature flags" which you can manipulate by passing a specially crafted URL hash. Simply supply a JSON blob after the `#` of the URL to change these settings:
* `skinUrl` (string) Url of the default skin to use. Note, this file must be served with the correct Allows Origin header.
* `audioUrl` (string) Url of the default audio file to use. Note, this file must be served with the correct Allows Origin header.
* `playlistEnabled` (boolean) Should the incomplete Playlist window be made avalaible.
* `equalizerEnabled` (boolean) Should the incomplete Equalizer window be made avalaible.
* `noMarquee` (boolean) Enable/disable to scrolling of the song title in the main window. It can be nice to turn this off when debugging Redux actions, since the scrolling generates a lot of noise.
* `hideAbout` (boolean) Selectively hide the byline and GitHub link at the bottom of the page. Useful for taking screenshots.
* `initialState` (object) Override the [initial Redux state](js/reducers.js). Values from this object will be recursively merged into the actual default state.
__Note:__ These are intended mostly as development tools and are subject to change at any time.

## Predecessors
- [Webamp2x](http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=91850) An
impressive implementation from 2002(!).
- [Winamp em HTML5 e Javascript](http://www.tidbits.com.br/winamp-em-html5-e-javascript)
In 2010 a developer named Danilo posted one of his HTML5 experiments: "an
audio player simulating good old Winamp". You will have to download the zip
file.
- [JuicyDrop](http://cggaurav.github.io/juicydrop/) An HTML5 implementation with
less empasis on being true to the skin, but fully featured visualizations.
@cggaurav is keeping it alive on [GitHub](https://github.com/cggaurav/juicydrop)
- [Spotiamp](http://spotiamp.com/) The folks at Spotify reimplemented Winamp as
a frontend for Spotify. Not in a browser, and only runs on Windows.
