NapAmp Takes Winamp to a New Level
The first music-finding plug-in for Nullsoft Winamp has officially hit the Net. Dubbed NapAmp, the new plug-in allows a user to search for digital audio on the Web using the popular Napster service.
Under 70kb in size, NapAmp integrates itself into the Winamp digital audio player from Nullsoft. With a simple keyboard combination, a new box appears, allowing the listener to search for and download MP3 audio using Napster's huge userbase. Although still in early stages of development, BetaNews tests proved NapAmp's quick searching ability coupled with end results almost identical to the actual Napster client.
Those behind firewalls may expereince problems downloading, as the inital release does not yet support the "Alternative GET" mode used by Napster.
When asked about what he has in store for the future, NapAmp creator Francois Corbier told BetaNews, "I really plan to make the napster plug-in support the sharing of user files so you will not need the Napster(tm) program anymore."
