[Caml-list] [ANN] Camp, the Caml Amp

[Andreas Rossberg]

Happy to share “Camp”, the Caml Amp — an old-school music player heavily inspired by good old Winamp, with a focus on decent music library and playlist handling.

I was fed up with Winamp being dead and lacking features I wanted, so I went into full-on nerd mode and implemented my own opinionated replacement, all in OCaml using the Raylib library:

    https://mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/camp/

If you have not yet been sucked in by the streaming cartels, you might find it useful.

- Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Support for WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG, QOA, MOD, and XM
- Advanced music library management with many browse and search features 
- Elaborate playlist manipulation and query-based “smart” playlists
- Animated user interface styled after hifi when it still looked good
  (no corners were rounded in the making of this app)

Enjoy,
/Andreas

Wow, thanks for brining back the old memories! Now I mostly use VLC but I remember using Winamp at some point of time for playing music. 

Best,

I’m using VLC for video. But when it comes to music, almost no player after Winamp ever had sensible music library functionality IMHO, which made them all useless to me.

Cheers,
