    Ampwifi Winamp Remote

    Ampwifi is the leading remote control app for Winamp. It is capable of displaying information about the currently playing song, to get the current playlist and to browse and search your music library. To do all that it requires that the AjaxAMP Remote Control Plugin for Winamp® is also installed.

    I have been using this for a couple of months now, and fallen in love with it.
    It would be good to see this functionality in the next Android Winamp.

    This very easy to use remote is for use with the AjaxAMP plugin [website no longer availible]
    It can automatically find the server running on a LAN, or you can manually configure IP presets.
    If you have pointed the Ajax plugin at your media folders, you can search your collection from the phone, and add tracks to a new playlist.
    With a suitable media player installed (I use ArmAMP) it can stream tracks from Winamp to your device.

    Funny, I just noticed this now (I wrote the app). Glad to see you liked it. I'm still working on it, ever so slowly.... I hope to publish an update soon. I'm working on adding a color scheme to the playlist so that you can very quickly see where songs from one folder end and a new folder begin. I tend to add entire albums to my playlist and each album is in it's own folder. Hopefully people will find that useful.

    Now if only we could see some updates to Winamp itself!

      Oh damn, I wish I knew of this back then... using aWARemote (even paid for it) and hasn't been updated in ages. Gonna have to give this one a try...
      Current Setup: Windows 10 Pro, Sound Blaster Z, Logitech Z-5500, Winamp v5.666.3516

        Nice to see you here Glaucus, and thanks again.

        I actually use this most often during my weekly radio show.
        It allows me to stand outside with a coffee and smoke, and see how long I have left, or even put on another track

        I am wondering if it would be worth you chatting with DrO at his Winamp site, because he is making progress with real Winamp updates.
        Between you, you may be able to add the required functions to Winamp, so that the droid app can use the existing library, playlists and bookmarks, without the need to create a separate index etc.
        Your updated classic media player experience.

          i'll need to try it...

          i use aWAR remote but it does crash now and then and do some things i don't like. i'd like the option to NOT cache artwork on the phone/tablet and only get the art ondemand as necessary when its "now playing" for instance. also used "playa control"

          anyone tried this for iOS?



          or:

                  i just saw that this:



                  includes support for an apple watch, which means that i am a lot more likely to get an apple watch now.

                  does anyone know of an app for both android and iOS that will create an ad hoc wifi hotspot? i had an android phone that allowed me to setup a free mobile hotspot using Foxfi, but i no longer do and afaik Foxfi doesn't do ad hoc wifi anyway, (its dependent on working mobile coverage / only does net connected hotspots).

                  i also wonder if these remote control apps work if only bluetooth is present, instead of wifi?

                      Okay , i'll allow this thread to continue for a while
                      but if we get another 5 bots in this thread , i sure will lock it
                      on request it can be unlocked also
                      but knowing bots a bit by now , if you lock a thread and reopen it after a few days the bots will leave it alone for a while.

                      so continue for now

                        The AjaxAmp site is gone, so can a mod please delete the link or change it to a web archive link?
