Winamp 2 implemented in HTML5 and JavaScript

# Webamp NPM Module

## Development

The demo site in `packages/webamp-demo` imports the library source directly, so you can iterate on the library with live reloading:

    cd packages/webamp-demo
    pnpm start

Any edits to library source files in `packages/webamp/js/` are immediately reflected in the browser — no rebuild needed.

    # Run tests
    cd packages/webamp
    pnpm test

## Building

To build the library for publishing:

    pnpm run build

This will write files to `./built`.

## Testing

    pnpm test

This will run the tests the linter and the type checker.

To update snapshots run

    pnpm test -u

## Cutting a Release

1. Update the version number in `package.json`
2. Rename the "Next" title at the top of `CHANGELOG.md` to the new version number and ensure it is up to date
3. Update the static `VERSION` property of the `Webamp` class in `webampLazy.tsx`
4. Git commit
5. `cd packages/webamp`
6. `npm publish`
7. Git tag the commit (e.g. `1.4.2` or `1.4.3-beta.3`)
8. Push tag to GitHub `git push origin <TAG_NAME>`
9. Update all the examples to use the new version:

- `minimal/index.html`
- `minimalMilkdrop/index.html`
- `webpack/package.json`
- `webpackLazyLoad/package.json`
- https://codesandbox.io/s/y0xypox60z

8. Commit and push

- [JuicyDrop](http://cggaurav.github.io/juicydrop/) An HTML5 implementation with
  less emphasis on being true to the skin, but fully featured visualizations.
  @cggaurav is keeping it alive on [GitHub](https://github.com/cggaurav/juicydrop)

  The folks at Spotify reimplemented Winamp as a frontend for Spotify. Not in a
  browser, and only runs on Windows. It has since been discontinued.
