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.

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

Compiling

You don't need to compile the code, because this is Javascript. You only need to run the index.html file with a normal web browser, and you're good to go.

Predecessors

Webamp2x An impressive implementation from 2002(!). Doesn't seem to work/play in my modern browsers.
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 An HTML5 implementation with less empasis on being true to the skin, but fully featured visualizations. @cggaurav is keeping it alive on GitHub
Spotiamp The folks at Spotify reimplemented Winamp as a frontend for Spotify. Not in a browser, and only runs on Windows.
