Winamp was first released by Justin Frankel in 1996. Current Winamp development is credited to Ben Allison (benski), Will Fisher, Taber Buhl, Maksim Tyrtyshny, Chris Edwards and Stephen (Tag) Loomis. Justin Frankel is an American computer programmer best known for his work on the Winamp media player application and for inventing the Gnutella peer-to-peer system. ...

In 2005 Winamp grew from 33 million monthly users to over 57 million monthly users,^[2] making it the second^{[citation needed]} most actively used media player globally, second only to Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player (WMP) is a digital media player and media library application developed by Microsoft that is used for playing audio, video and viewing images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system, as well as on Pocket PC and Windows Mobile-based devices. ...

History

Initial release

The minimalist WinAMP 0.20a was released as freeware on 21 April 1997.^[3] Its windowless menubar-only interface showed only play(open), stop, pause, and unpause functions. A file specified on the command line or dropped onto its icon would be played. MP3 decoding was performed by the AMP decoding engine by Tomislav Uzelac, which was free for non-commercial use.^[4] The acronym "AMP" stood for "Advanced Multimedia Products". Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev integrated this engine with their user interface.

WinAMP 0.92 was released as freeware in May 1997. Within the standard Windows frame and menubar, it had the beginnings of the "classic" Winamp GUI: dark gray rectangle with silver 3D-effect transport buttons, a red/green volume slider, time displayed in a green LED font, with trackname, MP3 bitrate and "mixrate" in green. There was no position bar, and a blank space where the spectrum analyzer and waveform analyzer would later appear. Multiple files on the command line or dropped onto its icon were enqueued in the playlist. External links LEd Category: TeX ...

Winamp 2.0 was released on September 8, 1998. The 2.x versions became widely used, and Winamp was one of the most downloaded pieces of software for Microsoft Windows.^[10] The new version improved the usability of the playlist, made the equalizer more accurate, introduced more plug-ins and allowed 'skins' for the playlist and equalizer windows.

Winamp 3

The next major Winamp version, Winamp3 (so spelled to include mp3 in the name and to mark its separation from the Winamp 2 codebase), was released on August 9, 2002. It was a complete rewrite of version 2, newly based on the Wasabi application framework, which offered additional functionality and flexibility. Winamp3 was developed parallel to Winamp 2, but many users found it consumed too many system resources and was unstable (or even lacked some valued functionality, such as the ability to count or find the total duration of tracks in a playlist). Winamp3 had no backward compatibility with Winamp 2 skins and plugins, and the SHOUTcast sourcing plugin was not supported. No Winamp3 version of SHOUTcast was ever released. is the 221st day of the year (222nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Also see: 2002 (number). ...

Many Winamp3 users reverted to Winamp 2. Nullsoft responded by continuing development of Winamp 2 to versions 2.9 and 2.91. The beta versions 2.92 and 2.95 were released with the inclusion of some upcoming Winamp 5 functionality. During this period the Wasabi cross-platform application framework and skinnable GUI toolkit was derived from parts of the Winamp3 source code.

Winamp 5

Winamp 5 featuring Winamp Modern skin

The Winamp 2 and Winamp3 branches were later fused into Winamp 5 — Nullsoft justified their non-sequential christening by quipping that 2 + 3 = 5 — taking the best parts from both applications. Developers also joked that "nobody wants to see a Winamp 4 skin" ('4 skin' being a pun on foreskin). Winamp 5 was based on the Winamp 2 codebase, with several Winamp3 features (e.g. modern skins) incorporated. Winamp 5.0 was released in December 2003. Most of the Wasabi framework built for creating Winamp3 and its components was released as open source, and as of 2005 an active development effort has succeeded in making a standalone version of Wasabi, minus the skinning and scripting modules which were never released. This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software. ...

Winamp 5 comes in three versions. Lite and Full are freeware, and Pro requires registration and (as of October, 2007) sells for US$19.95. The Lite version has far less functionality (largely supplementable with plugins) while still replicating most of Winamp 2's feature set in a far smaller installer. The Full version offers a richer feature set, including music ripping and CD burning at limited speeds (6x for ripping and 2x for burning). The Pro version features unlimited speed music ripping and CD burning and MP3 encoding. For other uses, see October (disambiguation). ...

A beta preview was released on September 10, 2007.

Concepts

Skins

Alexandru Popa's "EVO", a "classic" winamp skin

Mischa Klement's "Template Amp 1.1", a template created to aid Winamp skinners

Skins are revisions of the graphical user interface of Winamp. Winamp has published documentation on skin creation, and invites contributors to publish skins on Winamp.com. Winamp 5.0 supports "classic" skins designed to Winamp 2 specifications, and "modern" skins per the Winamp3 specification. Modern skins support alpha channels, a docked toolbar, and other innovations to the GUI, but many skin designers remain committed to the "classic" skin specification. Skin templates, such as those created by Mischa Klement and Jellby, have aided the production of increasingly sophisticated skins. Online communities of skin designers, such as 1001 Winamp Skins and deviantart, and the active forums on Winamp.com attest to the popularity of the feature and its flexibility as a medium for creative expression. As with all artistic mediums, as the number of independently produced works has increased, genre styles or categories of skins have emerged. Promoting celebrities, fashion models, films, cars, bands, brands, and other forms of entertainment remains a common staple of the medium. Artists have also created designs for their own sake: parodies of other interfaces, nostalgic emulations of old hardware and operating systems, hand drawn art, 3-dimension renderings employing transparencies, minimalist and high contrast designs, and clever implementations of vector graphics. The size of the development community has led to the inclusion of Winamp skin support in other digital media software such as Windows Media Player and XMMS.

Plug-ins

The Winamp software development kit allows software developers to extend Winamp's functionality through the use of plug-ins, which are categorized into the following seven types:

• Input plug-ins decode media data contained in specific file formats.
• Output plug-ins control the destination of decoded audio (such as the DirectSound device or direct-to-file writing).
• Visualization plug-ins provide sound activated graphics.
• DSP/Effect plug-ins manipulate audio (reverb, spacialization, equalization, compression, etc).
• General Purpose plug-ins add functionality or extensions to Winamp (Media Library, alarm clock, or pause when logged out).
• Media Library plug-ins add functionality or extensions to the Media Library plug-in (gen_ml, included with Winamp).
• Device plug-ins add support of portable media players to the Portable Media Player plug-in (ml_pmp, included with Winamp)

Easy development of specialized Input plug-ins contributed to Winamp's versatility compared to monolithic media players. For example, popular video game music has driven development of plugins to playback game console music files, such as NSF, USF, GBS, GSF, SID, GYM, SPC, PSF and PSF2. DirectSound is software supplied by Microsoft that resides on a computer with the Windows operating system. ...
