This is basically “winamp, but it plays (exclusively) .ogg files instead and is heavily optimized to provide the lowest CPU usage possible” – there’s an equalizer, playlist, a volume bar. A feature that minimizes CPU use when the application is on the foreground. And yes, the graph does work and is perfectly syncronized with the song. And all you see here are purely made of code – no .png or .bmp files included, don’t worry about it. And logically, no need to run wine or some other shoddy translation layer – it all runs natively on your PC.
CPU usage is comically low, as you can see here (tested on a orange pi 5 max):
To unpack the file, download dependencies and compile (on a debian distro, while in the same directory as where the llamamp.tar.gz file has been downloaded): tar -xf llamamp.tar.gz && sudo apt install -yq build-essential pkg-config libsdl2-dev && make -j$(nproc). Install it with sudo make install.
Compatibility: Pretty much anything you’ve got. It runs on X11, wayland or on nothing at all.
How to use it: Run “llamamp /path/to/song.ogg” or use the playlist.

Where’s the code?
The download link goes to gitlab, you can cut off the end to go to the source.
The gitlab repo appears to be a dump of random small .c programs and different .tar.gz archives. The download link OP provided is the source.
Oh. I was a bit confused at the names of the files, but now it makes sense.
i hope that this project can survive the ai hysteria that’s going on rn.
It won’t, sadly. All it took was a single baseless reply to throw this project into the trash can (see: the downvote barrage happening right after it).
At least I had fun doing this… so it’s all good.
I downvoted not because of any AI concern but because it’s clearly a crappy personal project. Nobody should use this.
Why forego a repo URL in favour of a download link? The repo at https://gitlab.com/gee.8ruhs/writteninc has no development files, no version tracking, no licenses…
That, and the obvious LLM reference in the name, makes this whole project a big no-go for me.
I’m not saying they didn’t use any LLMs in coding it, but the name is not indicative of that given the software they are mimicking.
Winamp famously always shipped with one MP3 file with its install of a guy saying their slogan: “Winamp - it really whips the llama’s ass!”
Your text has a GPT accent.
Pass.
What do you base that on?
Not saying you’re wrong, but I can’t see that you’re right.
90% of this is usually based on knowing where on the keyboard the “–”-key is located and using it correctly over hyphens…
