JsAmp

A BrowseAmp skin in XHTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript designed to look like Winamp 2.x, and capable of using Winamp 2 skins.

Demo

Most functions are disabled in the demo, but it does show how JsAmp looks (keep in mind that more attractive skins can easily be used) and feels. Opera 7 users: this will most likely crash your browser! Opera 8, along with Gecko-based browsers, seems to work just fine. Internet Explorer cannot view the demo, as it does not support XHTML.

Installation

Simply unzip the file you downloaded above in the C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\browseamp\ directory to install JsAmp. If asked whether you wish to replace any files (specifically, mime.ini), do so.

Make sure that mime.ini (in C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\browseamp\) ends with the following lines:

css=text/css
js=text/javascript
xhtml=application/xml
svg=application/xml

If not, add them and save the file. JsAmp is now installed.
