Welcome to Winamp Tools - what should we modernize next?

[JeremiahFD]

I made this as a hobby project because I love Winamp and still want to use the features that made it special.

The first release is a small WASAPI loopback input plugin. It lets AVS, MilkDrop, and other Winamp visualizers react to audio playing through the default Windows output device without Stereo Mix, monitoring, a virtual cable, or a software mixer. The source app can be a browser, Spotify, a game, or anything else using the normal Windows audio mix.

We are also working on an independent Synced Visualizer project: built-in scenes, multiple visualization engines over time, Android/Android TV/Shield and future Windows hosts, high-refresh rendering, and synchronized visualizers on multiple devices using shared timing and derived audio features rather than transmitting the music.

Other ideas for this repository include output-device selection, automatic device-change recovery, preset compatibility tools, and more small Winamp plugins that make classic workflows practical on modern Windows.

The first plugin was made with OpenAI Codex helping with implementation, testing, packaging, and documentation. Requests, test results, old Winamp problems, and ideas are welcome.
