About Ampwifi Winamp Remote

If you use Winamp® to play music on your PC, then Ampwifi is what you've been looking for. Ampwifi is a remote control app for your phone or tablet to control Winamp over Wi-Fi. This includes all the basic playback features like pause, rewind, volume, shuffle and many more. You can also view the current playlist and even browse and search your music folders. Ampwifi Winamp Remote is designed to be lightweight and responsive allowing you to make quick adjustments on the fly.


Requirements:
You will need Winamp for Windows installed on your PC along with the AjaxAMP Remote Control Plugin which you can download here:


✦ Dropbox
✦ Winamp Enthusiasts on Facebook

The official site for the AjaxAMP plugin is: http://www.ajaxamp.com. Detailed instructions for installing and setting up both the AjaxAMP plugin and the Ampwifi android app are included in the Ampwifi app itself.


Features:
✦ Totally free, no annoying ads.
✦ Clean and quick interface designed for quick and easy access.
✦ All basic music playing features: Play, Pause, Stop, Fast forward, Rewind, Next, Previous, Shuffle, Repeat, Mute and full volume control.
✦ Browse and edit Playlist.
✦ Browse your music library and add entire folders to your playlist. NOTE: The AjaxAMP plugin uses it’s own folder based media library system. The Winamp media library is NOT directly supported by Ampwifi.
✦ Search your music folders. Supports wildcards and voice input.
✦ Works over WiFi and mobile/cellular data networks.
✦ Can automatically detect your Windows PC running Winamp on your wireless LAN.
✦ Includes help documentation to get you up and running in minutes.
✦ Stream to device. Songs in your Winamp playlist or AjaxAMP's library can now be streamed to your device. Requires a music player app capable of playing streamed audio, such as Google Play Music.
✦ Download to device. Download songs from your Winamp PC to your Android device while Winamp continues to play music.
✦ Automatically stops music playback on Winamp when you receive a call on your Android phone.


Permissions:
1. Network communication
▪ Full network access
▪ View network connections
▪ View Wi-Fi connections
These are needed for what I think are obvious reasons. Ampwifi Winamp Remote is an app that works over Wi-Fi and cellular data networks. It needs full access to your Wi-Fi and cellular radios so that it can access Winamp which is running on a remote machine.

2. Phone calls
▪ Read phone status and identity
This permission is required to allow Ampwifi to stop or pause Winamp when you receive an incoming call on your phone. Ampwifi does nothing more than stop music playback when you receive a call, it does no data mining what so ever nor will it ever. That's a promise. On the plus side, this permission is meaningless on tablets or any device that doesn't accept calls over cellular networks.

3. Storage
▪ Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Ampwifi doesn't directly read or write to USB storage, however, this permission is required to use the Download Manager which is part of the Android operating system. The Download Manager is already pre-installed on all Android 2.2+ devices and can be accessed via the Downloads app.

4. Affects battery
▪ Allow Wi-Fi Multicast reception
Multicast reception is used when scanning for servers, which is how Ampwifi finds Winamp. Battery usage should be negligible.

5. System tools
▪ Test access to protected storage
This permission is required for the same reason the #3 Storage permission is required.

Since I use my PC and Winamp as my main music source, this gives me all the control I need.

Q70%
by Q####:

So far works great! I'd love to see the addition of basic functions in a widget, notification/lock screen controls.

I love this essential companion for Winamp. All features and no filler. With DrO makiing the community update pack "WACUP" we will be using this app for a long time. 1 request. Custom DL option so I can use extSdCard.

AjaxAmp works almost flawlessly and it has a good UI. I've just got a suggestion for a new feature: It's great that you can change the volume using your mobile device's volume rocker, but it only changes by one step for each press. It would be great if i could hold the button and it would go like about 4 steps a second.

O aplicativo é realmente muito bom e se mostra útil de fato. Mesmo assim, hoje, infelismente, o que nos chama a atenção é o visual, fazendo parte fundamental do citado. Não temos um visual agradável ou natural, é feio e um tanto quanto bagunçado. Outro fator importante é a falta do mesmo na área de notificação ao deixar o app em segundo plano, outra grande função necessária.

Excellent.

First off...thanks very much to the developer for offering this up! This app is just tremendous! The main play interface is great and it's very easy to set up. I also like how the library can be grouped by folder. This is huge to us types who are a bit OCD about how we set up our music libraries. This is THE app to use for casual DJing at a house party. So, why am I not giving this 5 stars.. A couple small gripes that I'm hoping the developer may consider in a future rev. The app really needs to remain on the notification bar when 'minimized.' As it is, a user must go back to the icon wherever it may lie (it's on my home screen). Look at other music apps and you can see how they do this. Related, some sort of functionality on the Lock screen would be very helpful with this app (i.e. pause, track advance/reverse, etc). And, this is a small one...but it would be great if the app would render album art. Should any of these be added later, my rating will most certainly change to 5 stars! Thank you again very much for this...seriously!

Got a problem connecting at first, but Michael was so helpful and helped me set it up. One suggestion would be to hook this up on the notification tray, just for convenience. Thanks a lot for making this app.

You need a plugin for winamp but that's about it. Can't browse my library from the phone but that's fine for me. Happy as a camper that I can control winamp from my phone while listening hehe. Update: after writing thus I saw in the online docs that you need to build a separate database in the plugins' settings dialogue. The documentation is perfect but I was not expecting it lol.

It's perfect. Since I use my PC and Winamp as my main music source, this gives me all the control I need. How do I pay you for it?

N70%
by N####:

Really great app. It would be even more awesome if you could add some simple controls to notification bar or the lockscreen. Thank you for making the app and making it free. You are the best

After installing the plug-in on Win 7 I was able to connect to a 'server' (laptop) in the app and control the playback as desired. Only issue is that the Winamp window on the PC is not visible anymore: music plays and can be controlled from the phone, but not on the PC, except for the little buttons on the window preview of the Taskbar. Also, a widget and especially lock screen controls would be amazing. Thank you for a very handy free app.

this is a good one. I wonder if there is a way to save, load, and delete playlist.

N70%
by N####:

All the other remotes require a third party app. That's silly. There's no reason it has to be anything more than a Winamp plugin. Ajax is light, it detected my PC right away and works like a charm.

Please add control for EQ :)

I do not see a way to do this anywhere. It states that it will work with a program such as google play, but I have not got it to be able to play music to the device. I would like to setup my old phone as a music player hooked up on my network and stereo. This app works the same as winamp remote.

N70%
by N####:

Nearly perfect. It should support .m3u8 files. Then i'll give it five stars.

V70%
by V####:

Better than every other remote, and no limitations

N70%
by N####:

Just needs the ability to save playlists easily and I'd give it 5 stars. I'll even say please, Please...

The application is excellent but please add option for lockscreen controls and I will give you five stars.

Nice work. Nexus 5

Great app, good instructions.

R70%
by R####:

I like that the server is an add on within winamp rather than a completely separate program. It is easy to use, but one thing I would like to see in an update would be the ability to use winamp's queue function when long pressing a song name. Also, it works well on my tablet, but on an ace ii x its constant refreshing is extremely annoying (I did not take off a star for that, though, because the ace ii x is usually pretty annoying anyways)
