wmamp is a media player designed for the Window Maker dock. Because the user interface is completely separated from the playing functions, it is easy to write a new media-playing backend, sharing the common look & feel.

The user interface consists of an alphanumeric display and a control panel. The display shows the playback position (time), playlist position (index), and title of the current track. Clicking the time toggles between the time elapsed/remaining. Clicking the title toggles scrolling.

The control panel features the following VCR-style buttons:

Pause/Play - pauses/resumes playback of the current track. Clicking the button again after pausing resumes playback from the exact location where pause was selected.

Stop stops playback of the current track. Clicking the Pause/Play button after stopping resumes playback from the beginning of the track.

Eject stops playback and terminates.

Previous stops playback of the current track and begins playback of the previous track in the playlist. Right-clicking the button skips all the tracks of the same artist & album.

Next stops playback of the current track and begins playback of the previous track in the playlist. Right-clicking the button skips all the tracks of the same artist & album.

Backward sets the playback position in the current track 15 seconds backward.

Forward sets the playback position in the current track 15 seconds forward.
