Brings back the good old days :) But I don't have any mp3s anymore. Spotify.

Implementing this looks like it would be a fun project: https://github.com/JMPerez/spotify-web-api-js

You'd still need the Spotify desktop client open (Winamp2-js would function as a remote), but you could do things like populating the playlist window with a user playlist.

Unfortunately, you can never fully work. DRM means we can’t get raw access to the audio stream so EQ, visualization, balance, (for example) won’t work.

You can use a virtual audio cable. Spotify -> virtual cable -> winamp -> real audio out

Can you recommend a "virtual cable" javascript library that is compatible with DRM output? I can't seem to find anything.

Pretty sure you can get it for visualization...

If you have an example, send it my way! I believe the Analyser node cannot get output from a tainted source.

They had a Winamp client for a brief time, but it got pulled. https://news.spotify.com/us/2013/12/20/spotiamp-long-live-th...

How does this work? Do you not have any old random mp3s you like that aren't available via Spotify?
