A separate, native program for Windows 98 SE through XP (tested on both, on real hardware): a 460 KB installer or a single portable file, Pentium II and up, streams from Plex and Jellyfin. The old PC cannot open this site, so it has its own plain address: http://dl.easyampstereo.com/retro/
Signed & notarized (Developer ID: Trenton Von Holten) - opens like any Mac app, no Gatekeeper warnings. Spectrum & VU meters react to whatever you're playing - no loopback device needed. On macOS 14, use 0.6.2: it is the last version for that system and is no longer updated.
Recommended - works on every distro. Add the repo, then get automatic updates via your software center or flatpak update:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists easyamp https://dl.easyampstereo.com/easyamp.flatpakrepo flatpak install easyamp com.vonholtencodes.EasyAmp
One-click needs a software center that handles .flatpakref (GNOME Software, KDE Discover) - not Pop!_Shop; on Pop!_OS use the commands above. All methods need PipeWire or PulseAudio for audio playback.
What you need
Bundled builds need nothing extra. To build from source: Python 3 + PyGObject with GTK 4, GStreamer 1.x (base/good plugins), numpy, and a working PipeWire/PulseAudio server. Fonts (DSEG7 Classic + Pixelify Sans, OFL) ship bundled and auto-install on first run.
Build it yourself
Install the native prerequisites from your package manager / Homebrew, then:
pipx install . --system-site-packages
Full per-OS steps live in INSTALL.md.
