AjaxAMP v3.3 is a plugin for the excellent Winamp Media Player.
It turns Winamp into a web-accessible, sharing, streaming, searching, remote-controlled musical marvel, allowing you to access Winamp over the network using a web browser and control it or stream music to or from it. Using AjaxAMP you can:- Listen to your music from anywhere using a web browser
- Control Winamp from anywhere using a web browser
- Cause your music to play on a remote computer
- Browse and listen to your friends' music libraries
- Use one computer to stream music from a 2nd computer to a 3rd computer.
- Search your entire music collection at the click of a button
Once installed, AjaxAMP runs silently as a lightweight web server inside Winamp. Using AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) techniques, it creates a web interface for Winamp which duplicates the actual Winamp interface inside a Web broswer. Just point your browser to the computer's IP address at port 5151 and you can control Winamp! For example, install the plugin, then point a web browser to http://127.0.0.1:5151 to begin controlling Winamp on your own computer.
AjaxAMP has its own Media Library which allows you to browse, search, and sort through your music and to drag-and-drop folders or music files onto the playlist.
