- boobsbr 9y agoI had a serious obsession with Winamp skins back in my dial-up teenage years. As bad as hoarding MP3 files.

- taneq 9y agoWhat's maimed about current version Winamp? I'm running 5.666, using the classic skin, it's taking up 10.6MB of RAM and <0.1% CPU while playing.
- alok-g 9y agoIndeed. The OP did not close out on Winamp - Looking for an efficient music player, which is claimed elusive, and yet Winamp practically dismissed because of its website.
- degenerate 9y agoOP just doesn't know what OP wants. As you said, Winamp + classic skin, with all the "features" turned off like Winamp Agent and those other stupid things they added after the AOL acquisition, is perfectly fine. The fact that OP didn't even try out (or discover) foobar2000 tells a lot.
