MacAmp is an early GUI-based MP3 audio player, first released on April 13, 1997, for the Macintosh[1][2][3][4] by Dmitry Boldyrev of Nullsoft (and later Subband).[5][6] Its MP3 decoding capability was based on the PlayMedia Systems AMP MPEG-2, Layers 1, 2 and 3 decoder.
By 1999, MacAmp was cited as a "premier MP3 player" and the most popular MP3 player for the Macintosh.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
In September 1999, a revamped version of MacAmp was released under the name "Macast".[13]
