Gamp

GAMP · MAC · WINDOWS · LINUX

A Winamp alternative that keeps what you loved.

Gamp is a free, open-source music player built around Winamp 2: the same skins, equalizer, playlist editor and keyboard shortcuts, playing the music you have today, from Spotify and SoundCloud to Plex, Jellyfin and your NAS. It is independent, not made by Winamp.

Gamp wearing the Vaporwave skin from the Winamp Skin Museum

What carries over from Winamp 2

Skins, as they are

Classic .wsz skins load unchanged, and about 100,000 are a click away in the built-in Skin Museum. The player, equalizer, playlist and library all wear them.

The equalizer and its presets

Ten bands at Winamp's frequencies, ±12 dB with a preamp. The built-in presets match Winamp's, and your old .eqf presets and .q1 libraries open too.

The keys under your fingers

Z X C V B to play, J to jump to a file, L to open, S shuffle, R repeat, Ctrl+D double size, Ctrl+A always on top.

The playlist editor

MISC › Sort list, File info with tag editing, an HTML playlist, and LIST to save playlists by name or open .m3u, .m3u8 and .pls files.

Windows that dock

Small windows that snap together, roll up with a double-click on the title bar, and grow from 100% to 300%.

A visualizer in the MilkDrop tradition

G-Drop: 40 original presets that follow the bass, mids and treble, full screen on a double-click. See G-Drop.

What Winamp 2 never played

Every source goes through your skin and the equalizer.

Questions

Is Gamp a Winamp clone?

No Winamp code is inside: the skin engine, audio engine, equalizer and visualizer are Gamp's own, written from scratch to look and work like Winamp 2. Gamp is independent and not affiliated with Winamp.

Can I use Winamp skins with Spotify?

Yes. With Spotify Premium, your liked songs, playlists and search play inside Gamp, in whichever Winamp skin you wear and through the 10-band equalizer. Spotify playback uses the open-source librespot engine, which Spotify doesn't officially support.

Is there a music player for Plex or Jellyfin with Winamp skins?

Gamp is one. Sign in with Plex and every server on your account is added; Jellyfin and Emby need the server address, user name and password. Your library plays in your skin and through the equalizer, at home or over the internet.

Does it run Winamp plugins?

No. Gamp doesn't load Winamp plugins; its sources, equalizer and G-Drop visualizer are built in, on Mac, Windows and Linux alike.

Is there a Winamp alternative for Linux?

Gamp runs on 64-bit Linux as a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian or an AppImage for any distribution, with the same skins, equalizer and sources as on Mac and Windows.

Is Gamp free?

Yes: free and open source under the MIT licence, with no account and no ads.
