This is basically “winamp, but it plays (exclusively) .ogg files instead and is heavily optimized to provide the lowest CPU usage possible” – there’s an equalizer, playlist, a volume bar. A feature that minimizes CPU use when the application is on the foreground. And yes, the graph does work and is perfectly syncronized with the song. And all you see here are purely made of code – no .png or .bmp files included, don’t worry about it. And logically, no need to run wine or some other shoddy translation layer – it all runs natively on your PC.

CPU usage is comically low, as you can see here (tested on a orange pi 5 max):

To unpack the file, download dependencies and compile (on a debian distro, while in the same directory as where the llamamp.tar.gz file has been downloaded): tar -xf llamamp.tar.gz && sudo apt install -yq build-essential pkg-config libsdl2-dev && make -j$(nproc). Install it with sudo make install.

Compatibility: Pretty much anything you’ve got. It runs on X11, wayland or on nothing at all.

How to use it: Run “llamamp /path/to/song.ogg” or use the playlist.

    Why not fork xmmp or qmmp or any of the other Winamp clones?

    I’m not complaining, I genuinely want to know what differentiates this software.

      It won’t, sadly. All it took was a single baseless reply to throw this project into the trash can (see: the downvote barrage happening right after it).

      At least I had fun doing this… so it’s all good.

        4 is a barrage? You’re pretty sensitive.

        Anyway I’m downvoting because you’re whining primarily and peddling slop secondarily. I hope one day you can write a hello world unaided without bitching.

        90% of this is usually based on knowing where on the keyboard the “–”-key is located and using it correctly over hyphens…
