UnAmp - Native Desktop Music Player

Native Desktop Music Player

UnAmp playing a track, with the Player, Equalizer and Playlist down the left and the Media Library and Waveform on the right

UnAmp is a native Rust music player in the spirit of Winamp. Point it at a folder, a mounted drive or a network share and play what's there: album art, a scrolling title, a big time display, a proper bar spectrum analyzer and a 10-band equalizer, in separate Player, Equalizer, Playlist and Media Library windows. It even draws classic Winamp .wsz skins.

Download

Available as a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian-based distributions (x86-64).

Download .deb (v0.1.0)

Or from a terminal:

wget https://github.com/divanvisagie/UnAmp/releases/download/v0.1.0/unamp_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./unamp_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb

Upgrading: Ubuntu's App Center shows "Installed" for a newer .deb when any version is already installed, and won't upgrade it (app-center#2190). Install the new version with apt instead, from the folder you downloaded it to:

sudo apt install ./unamp_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb

Older versions and release notes are on the releases page.

Or install from crates.io (Linux, with the Rust toolchain and the ALSA headers: sudo apt install libasound2-dev pkg-config):

cargo install unamp
unamp
