AMP is a command line mp3 player/decoder released under a BSD style license. This became the foundation of WinAmp. Winamp is 'the' mp3/audio player for Windows, and is said to no longer contain any remnants AMP source these days.
Some time after Winamp was released, it was cloned as 'x11amp' for *nix - which was again based on AMP. Winamp later got the x11amp folks to rename their player, and so it became 'xmms' (X MultiMedia System).

+[AMP] is also the tla for the Active Measurement Project, run by the [NLANR] Research team in the US. It consists of well over 100 well connected "amplets" spread over US universities and research organisations. All amplets ping each other in a full mesh once per min, and traceroute between each other once per 10 min. All results are collected on a central server and displayed to the public. Go [here|http://watt.nlanr.net] if you want to know more or see the results. This project is lead by the head of the [WAND] group at [WaikatoUniversity] and as such, many students in this group have had something to do with [AMP] at one point or another. This is another example of [NamespaceCollision].
