cliamp is a terminal music player inspired by Winamp that runs in the command line.
The tool addresses the need for a music player that works in terminal environments while maintaining a familiar interface inspired by Winamp's design. It works by connecting to various music sources and streaming services, allowing playback and management of audio content directly from the terminal. The player supports multiple backend services and streaming protocols, enabling users to access music from different platforms through a single interface.
The tool suits developers and users who prefer terminal-based workflows and want to avoid graphical music players. It works well for those who stream music from services like Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube, as well as users running personal music servers through Jellyfin or Navidrome. The player also supports Icecast streams and podcasts, making it versatile for different audio content types. Those familiar with Winamp's classic interface will find the terminal adaptation approachable.
The project shows active development with regular commits and ongoing feature additions. The codebase maintains a plugin system architecture, allowing extensibility for new music sources and functionality. Documentation and examples are present in the repository, supporting users in getting started and understanding how to configure different streaming backends.
