Minor point: I read this as OS/2. The author may want to correct that. macOS naming and versioning is confusing enough.

macOS was never known as OS/X. It was formerly known as OS X and Mac OS X.

As a former OS/2 user, it really threw me off for a second.

Also, you're using a trademark ("Winamp") in the name. So, expect a C&D from Llama Group or whomever.

Aside from that, it looks really nice and well-designed! And it's in Swift and not some janky Electron app. Good job on those fronts!

Same, actually... I'd probably just say "for macOS" at this point, since it is the current term from what I understand.

Aside: the project seems interesting enough, didn't see support for (icecast) streaming listed in the project though, which although less common today still exists.

That's how I read it, too! I got excited! "Finally," I thought "I can run WinAmp on my OS/2 Machine". Then I clicked to the repo and saw it was just a Mac thing.
100%! I first read as OS/2 as well, and was like interesting.
