MacAmp

Winamp 2.95 for the Mac: the classic skinned player, pixel for pixel, in Swift with AppKit and SwiftUI.

MacAmp is the simple, familiar Winamp on macOS. It starts fast, plays your music and stays out of the way: the same windows, skins, menus, Preferences, dialogs and hotkeys as Winamp 2.95, and almost no CPU while idle (paused β‰ˆ 0.01%, playing with the visualizer β‰ˆ 2–3% on an M1). Modern things live under the hood.

Download: latest release (DMG, Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14 Sonoma or later).
