Build a real-life Winamp player before the PC app goes open-source

Build a real-life Winamp (called Linamp) player with Raspberry Pi:

Linamp has the following features:
  • Play music files from the file system (mp3, m4a, FLAC, etc.), including from SMB network mounts.
  • Playlist management for file playback
  • Display a real time bar spectrum analyzer
  • Display track information, including bitrate and sample rate
  • Control the output volume and balance
  • CD Playback (when connecting an external CD drive), including getting the track information from MusicBrainz
  • Bluetooth and Spotify playback (This is a Work in Progress)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Winamp is going open source (on September 24th, 2024), and it feels like the early 2000s again. - Remember Winamp? Turns out, it never went away, and it's now about to get a lot better:
