Winamp Skin Museum
- runawaybottle 6y agoWinamp skins are an interesting source for design inspiration since the player follows the template of a single page mobile application.
- atonse 6y agoThe Jennifer Love Hewitt skin should tell you what era this was popular! This brought back high school/college memories (from the late 90s to mid 2000s)
- airstrike 6y agoThe various Mac OS X Aqua ones are also a dead giveaway! https://skins.webamp.org/?query=mac%20os%20x%20aqua https://skins.webamp.org/?query=mac%20os%20x%20aqua I remember running with those for quite a while even though I only bought my first Mac in 2019
- vastinfest 6y agoI remember using one of these. I wasn't even remotely aware that those are somehow MacOS related back then.
- refresher 6y agoI notice if I submit a URL & title that already exist, the story doesn't get submitted and HN forwards me to the previously submitted post, but I submitted this yesterday so how does this avoid said redirection? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24366172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24366172
- MindGods 6y agoThere is an 8 hour window when you can not resubmit a link. Also your post didn't get much attention.
- captbaritone 6y agoFunny! Author of the site here. I came to post a "Show HN" but it got redirected to your post so I gave up :P
- GrumpyNl 6y agoBlack screen for me, in chrome and ff
- julianxhokaxhiu 6y agoHad the same issue. Close the tab and re-open it again. It should work :)
- Insanity 6y agoDidn't work for me, even in incognito :/ EDIT: Author has a twitter bot that tweets some of them, so I had a look over there: https://twitter.com/winampskins https://twitter.com/winampskins
- midrus 6y agoSame for me...another awesome React SPA... so cool...
- t0astbread 6y agoThe problem seems to be a failing API request not a bug in the client.
- captbaritone 6y agoShould be stabilized now. Sorry about that and thanks for debugging.
- city41 6y agoWhen I get the black screen, I notice in the dev tools this request gets stuck at pending and never returns - https://api.webamp.org/skins?offset=0&first=100 https://api.webamp.org/skins?offset=0&first=100
- captbaritone 6y agoHug of death. Working to resolve
- bitxbitxbitcoin 6y agoDupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24366172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24366172
- city41 6y agoIf the author is around, I get double scrollbars in Chrome on Ubuntu double horizontal https://i.imgur.com/4joQkPL.png https://i.imgur.com/4joQkPL.png double both horizontal and vertical https://i.imgur.com/0MoiDdD.png https://i.imgur.com/0MoiDdD.png
- captbaritone 6y agoThanks for flagging. It got reported yesterday but haven't had time to fix. Scrollbar blindness is real on mac: https://svenkadak.com/blog/scrollbar-blindness https://svenkadak.com/blog/scrollbar-blindness
- captbaritone 6y agoShould be fixed now.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- codetrotter 6y agoPage doesn’t work for me in Safari on iOS 13.6.1 There’s a top bar and then everything else is just all black.
- Rafael_Milcic 6y agoSame here in Win10 on Firefox 80.0
- archon810 6y agoSame here on chrome for Android.
- giarc 6y agoI think it's just slow to load the images. I had the same and eventually they started to appear.
- captbaritone 6y agoSome access patterns brought the API to a crawl. Seems to have stabilized now. I'm monitoring.
- WD-42 6y agoThese can still be used with the Audacious media player! Great piece of software that I still use to listen to online radio streams.
- syspec 6y ago> Winamp is a media player for Windows, macOS and Android, originally developed by Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev[5][6][7] by their company Nullsoft, which they later sold to AOL in 1999 for $80 million. 80M, for an MP3 player is peek 1999
- bdcravens 6y agoThey also had a directory of streaming "stations", Shoutcast
- airstrike 6y agoAnd you could install shoutcast to host your own station! I remember hosting one for all of my friends to listen to, and we all had a great time. Of all the things of the internet of old, Winamp 2.x, its skins, shoutcast and the visualization library are what I miss the most by far
- jeremy_wiebe 6y agoOh I’d forgotten about the visualisations. Those were, for me, one of the best parts of Winamp.... other than the sound bite about a llama. :-)
- ganoushoreilly 6y ago> https://desktop.webamp.org/ https://desktop.webamp.org/ TripX was the jam. https://winampheritage.com/visualization/tripex3/92178 https://winampheritage.com/visualization/tripex3/92178
- isochronous 6y agoTripX was pretty, but Geiss, Milkdrop, and Gforce were my favorites, if only because of the insane number of add-on visualization presets. What was always ironic to me was that most of the presets by the actual developer were pretty garbage.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- neals 6y agoFound it! https://skins.webamp.org/skin/5e4f10275dcb1fb211d4a8b4f1bda236/base-2.91.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/5e4f10275dcb1fb211d4a8b4f1bda2...
- binarymax 6y agoI think this shows the entire collection: https://skins.webamp.org/?query=* https://skins.webamp.org/?query=*
- captbaritone 6y agoSearch results are capped at a certain limit, but no query should give you the full results. No query was breaking before due to hug of death, but things have stabilized a bit for now.
- kop316 6y agoFor linux users out there, in a previous discussion, audacious has a winamp 2.x appearance, and it can even be skinned with winamp 2.x skins!
- gwbas1c 6y agoI just can't get this site to work. Nothing shows up, the "Random" button doesn't take me anywhere.
- jolmg 6y agoTakes a while to load, even though it appears as if nothing is happening. I think it's like 30 seconds or so of waiting, then a bunch of images appear at once.
- dmitriid 6y agoWhat worked for me is clicking any of the search links posted in replies. And then the site started working. For me it was this: https://skins.webamp.org/?query=mac%20os%20x%20aqua https://skins.webamp.org/?query=mac%20os%20x%20aqua
- captbaritone 6y agoHug of death. Working to get things working again.
- captbaritone 6y agoI think things have stabilized a bit.
- FreakyT 6y agoI love this, like a trip back in time! My favorite skin was this one, which interestingly became the basis for XMMS, the classic Linux Winamp clone: https://skins.webamp.org/skin/d72ca73bdde779b18e8e898096212426/Fusion%20AMPdeck%202.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/d72ca73bdde779b18e8e8980962124... (For reference, the XMMS default skin is on here too: https://skins.webamp.org/skin/dd26a8459c364a833e53ef0d9945622f/xmms.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/dd26a8459c364a833e53ef0d994562...)
- airstrike 6y agoMy favorite of the older generation skins was "Classix", which was later ported to Winamp 3.x too https://skins.webamp.org/?query=classix https://skins.webamp.org/?query=classix
- FreakyT 6y agoOh that’s a good one, too! I remember that skin had an associated “uxtheme.dll” theme you could install on Windows XP, which was one of the best third party XP themes out there.
- elwell 6y agoThe prefix of "Winamp" is critical in the title here
- voldacar 6y agoDeep inside me I hold a hope that one day we can return to GUI design like this. My human soul demands more than the bleakness of material UI
- ganzuul 6y agoI want animated swirly widgets showing the TCP status of individual apps! No more rectangles! Cubism is for simps!
- voldacar 6y agounironically yes lol
- agumonkey 6y agocareful man, you're about to ask for a button on your phone
- medium_burrito 6y agoI too hope for this- I mentioned it in another thread about UX, but basically it would be great if the web was just data and some metadata, and our browser would skin everything appropriately. A lightweight web is pipe dream though :(
- voldacar 6y agoUs likeminded people should band together and create some kind of guild or cabal devoted to dismantling this crushing regime of lazy, flat, aesthetically unfulfilling UI styling. The neo-skeuomorphist reactionary front would be a good name
- badsectoracula 6y agoTechnically on Linux you can have your GUIs look like this since both GTK and Qt are themeable. It is just that everyone seems to be making slight variations on the same Aqua and Metro inspired ideas the last decade or so.
- 6y ago
- airstrike 6y agoShoutout to https://twitter.com/winampskins https://twitter.com/winampskins which is listed in the about section. Commenting here in case others miss it
- QuadrupleA 6y agoAh, takes me back to before the flat anti-skeumorphism trend, when unique UIs were socially acceptable.
- trollied 6y agoWinamp was so slick. Lightweight, did one thing very well. A modern version would probably be built on Electron, be a 500Mb download & require 8Gb RAM to just run (12Gb required if you want to change the skin). I long for the days where things weren't so bloated.
- mmcwilliams 6y agoYou can still run Winamp. I run it using WINE on Ubuntu.
- jeremija 6y agoI just run audacious when I feel nostalgic - it has support for old Winamp v2 skins. Most of the time i just use cmus though.
- poisonarena 6y agoI run it native on my Windows 10 laptop
- senorjazz 6y agoI still use winamp, with classic skin. It's small out the way, I can simply drag the files in I want to play. Not want any more than that for a music player IMO
- devindotcom 6y agoMe too. Nucleo_nlog skin though.
- bluedays 6y agoElectron hate is starting to become such a meme lately.
- Karunamon 6y agoMany would argue that Electron itself is a meme. An unfunny one that gets repeated at the user’s expense ad nauseam.
- keiferski 6y agoIt’s neat how a strange name wakes up memories. Just reading the link title, the image of WinAmp’s gray gradient UI popped in my mind.
- johndill 6y agoAh, simpler and better times. When I pretty much brough my own music to work and had a dedicated directory. I was amazed that a program could list the title and artist of the song.
- bovermyer 6y agoI miss the era of design where the form factor never changed. You could design stuff like this without worrying about the window resizing because you simply couldn't resize the window.
- finnthehuman 6y agoWinamp skins make me miss the fun of software circa 2000. The sun was bright and the possibility space wide open. A piece of software would come out, make huge strides in enabling a new use case effectively, leave the door open for people to make it theirs - and boy did they ever! In the last 20 years how have software music players changed? The files come from a subscription service easier to use and with much better metadata than tracks from Napster ever did. That's awesome! Also the subscription dictates you use their hot turd of software, with dreary spartan UI and zero room for functional customization to be had. Welcome to the future, now learn to like it or get called a luddite.
- gfody 6y agoI use MusicBee to listen to my di.fm subscription - the futures not bad
- simias 6y agoI still find Spotify's admittedly garbage electron app better than any other player I've ever used because I get (almost) all the music I could ever want at my fingertips without having to browse any third party website, find the files, buy/pirate them, load them in the right location with the right tags etc... The price to pay for this convenience is DRM and player lock-in (and all possible usage data being siphoned by said player). It is unfortunate, but as a user it's a price I'm willing to pay, even if reluctantly.
- MrGilbert 6y agoYeah, and albums suddenly disappearing because the licenses ran out. Or, even worst: Albums being incomplete because certains track "aren't available". I don't know. I use Spotify as a radio replacement, but albums I like I try to buy as FLAC files. If they are lost, it's my own fault.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoAs long as the music files are still available for purchase, then I’m fine with the situation as is.
- benbristow 6y agoI used to remember playing with Winamp skins for hours as a kid and watching the visualisations. Loved it! This brings back memories.
- busterarm 6y agoWow, some of mine are in here. That's amazing.
- edgarvaldes 6y agoI still use Winamp, with the plugin that shows the lyrics of the current song.
- burnte 6y agoMy word, I made the MozAmp skins. 3 was great, 2 was bad, but 1 was awful and I actually had lost it. I had hoped the internet had forgotten MozAmp 1, but nooooooo, 15 years later is surfaces.
- Brendinooo 6y agoFound mine! Amazing! Hadn't seen it in years. Turns out it's not as good as I remember. Oh well.
- captbaritone 6y agoHey! Author of the site here, thanks for sharing. I'm happy to answer any questions.
- j4nt4b 6y agoThis is an awesome site! But the scrollbar behavior is a disaster. There are four scrollbars, and none of them allows me to navigate the main content.
- captbaritone 6y agoThanks for flagging. I'll be sure to fix.
- k2enemy 6y agoI also get three or four entries in my history from following a link to one skin.
- captbaritone 6y agoThanks for mentioning it. I'll followup.
- angryjim 6y agoSo many good memories, the simplicity of this player was wonderful. I made a skin for sure, but I don't think I ever submitted it.
- edgarvaldes 6y agoOh man... it's 2020 and I'm here discovering and installing Winamp skins :) FEUEREIS is beautiful
- desktopninja 6y agoLoved this web project ever since I learned about it. Also think Winamp, hands down is one of the best pieces of software to withstand the test of time. Winamp v2.92 still runs on Windows $LATEST. Geiss/Milkdrop Plugins and all. Lets not forget the high quality audio output; its 834 KB (854,016 bytes) binary size and next to nothing CPU/MEM usage (Testimonial: left it playing my entire music collection in a forever loop and memory usage never budged more than it start with <3) My primary music player still to this day and when on Linux Audacious or VLC Of course other notable players: FooBar2000 Media Player Classic (MPC-HC)
- dehrmann 6y ago> Winamp v2.92 still runs on Windows $LATEST I loved Winamp, but this has more to do with Microsoft maintaining backwards compatibility for a long time. Try running something from Mac OS 9 on a modern Mac.
- LeoPanthera 6y agoFor what it's worth, qemu-system-ppc works extremely well on a modern Mac and setting up a virtual OS 9 system is very easy. And because you're emulating and not virtualizing, it works just as well on ARM Macs, too. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/3usNwXz.png https://i.imgur.com/3usNwXz.png
- machello13 6y agoI think his point was that no average user is going to do that -- whereas any Windows user can just double-click the .EXE and it works.
- LeoPanthera 6y agoI wonder how difficult it would be to make a wrapper program around qemu to reduce this problem to a couple of clicks.
- rantwasp 6y ago
- ropeladder 6y agoI used this one for years: https://skins.webamp.org/skin/83447bc283821369d0887e3ee38c1972/r-mix.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/83447bc283821369d0887e3ee38c19... I still think it's an incredible piece of art/design.
- danielovichdk 6y agoI remember long nights by the crt screen back in the late ninties. My parents would go to bed and I was left with a newly found napster application and winamp. I would watch the download finish, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, and then i would open up that track with winamp and my favourite skin. I loved those nights as christmas. It was so intens and a totally new world for me. Miss those days at times
- hh3k0 6y agoAh, man. I wish I could still get as excited about things as I did back then.
- ChrisGranger 6y agoI couldn't seem to find Flow by Uriel: https://www.deviantart.com/uriel/art/Flow-5172551 https://www.deviantart.com/uriel/art/Flow-5172551

- Deimorz 6y agoI happened across this the other day that should work with these: https://winampify.io/ https://winampify.io/ > Winampify is a Web Client for Spotify using Winamp 2 skins It's made by Rémi Gallego, who releases music as The Algorithm and Boucle Infinie.
- conradfr 6y agoAh, I remember some of them. To be honest I mostly used the default one and nowadays the included Bento (except to modify the eq which is still better on the Classic skin with ctrl-d) I also remember some cool plugins, like the one that would put speakers left and right.
- selykg 6y agoOh this is awesome. I remember using Winamp in high school, and I think it was Winamp 2 came out one morning and they had an Easter egg on the site, writing in with the location of that Easter egg netted you a reward. It was a Winamp t-shirt. It was a cigarette box with the llama on it. Winamp, it whips the llama's ass. What a trip down memory lane. For those that aren't aware, the guy that created Winamp (Justin Frankel) is now working on a DAW called Reaper (http://reaper.fm http://reaper.fm). It's stellar for what it is as well!

- vehemenz 6y agoNot a big fan of scrolljacking. Make the page work with space/page down, etc.
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoThose work fine for me. Firefox 79.0 in Windows 10.
- res0nat0r 6y agoAwesome. They even have noerroramp my favorite and the skin I'm using as of this moment and have for ~10 years now. https://skins.webamp.org/skin/8a466a39534e4be0dc6ca5cc0d6f5a80/noerroramp.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/8a466a39534e4be0dc6ca5cc0d6f5a...
- serf 6y agoI lived through it, so you'd think i'd remember, but what struck me was how long anime girls have been a part of 'computer culture'. Winamp, OSX Aqua, Sonique, Shoutcast, Windows 9x : all gone. Rei and Lain -- still immensely popular across the internet. edit : found my old favorite https://skins.webamp.org/skin/78deb012fc1bd1db7ccc00de2a28a124/The_Winbreta_v2.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/78deb012fc1bd1db7ccc00de2a28a1... there's something nice about contrasting chickenscratch style hand-writing with graphing paper and the rest of the rectangular interface plastering the rest of the computer. Almost a squiggle-vision Dr.Katz feel to it.
- hh3k0 6y agoLet's all love Lain!
- ponker 6y agoI can't find the "Yellow Submarine" skin that used to my favorite. I expect that if I found it I would be overwhelmed by a frisson of Proustian nostalgia.
- isochronous 6y agoThis is one incredible journey back into my teenage years. Thanks so much to the developer and the person who shared it here!
- AdmiralAsshat 6y agoThis page shows that there was an "art" to making a good Winamp skin. You couldn't just pick a background picture and make all of the buttons transparent, or else the GUI became incredibly difficult to use. You had to balance the theme with usability.
- walrus01 6y agoctrl-f "llama" ONE post? seriously? I'm disappointed!
- pr0zac 6y agoI'm trying to think of areas of software that still have UIs that match this type of non-uniformity and creativity and can't think of very many. The only one that immediately comes to mind is GPU overclocking software on Windows ala https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/ https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/
- azeirah 6y agoTwitch stream layouts look like this. I've also seen some crazy obs skins (it's made in qt)
- xivzgrev 6y agoThis site really whips the llama's ass!
- Bubbadoo 6y agoMakes me miss Windows XP ;)
- carlsborg 6y agoJustin Frankel, the Winamp developer who sold to AOL and later made Gnutella, the original p2p file sharing phenom .. has this AMA website and he still replies in hours if you ask him something. https://www.askjf.com/index.php https://www.askjf.com/index.php
- 1A--__--__--1A 6y agoWhy did I read this as Nutella
- miguelmota 6y agoI loved Winamp. There's a theme for every occasion and it great attention to detail. I always had it opened to admire the beautiful interface and enjoyed seeing the equalizer movements.
- Waterluvian 6y agoThis website was a delight to view on mobile. Perfect use of space. Infinite scroll. Search. No wasted space with nonsense. Wonderfully done.
- captbaritone 6y agoWow, thanks for the kind words! My only fear is for mobile users on a metered data plan. I suppose we show fewer images per screen than on desktop, but I do fear that it will add up.
- 205guy 6y agoIt took me a while to realize that all the skins are interactive and playable--not just animated. The playlist is the same for all (and includes the llama soundbite), but all the buttons and equalizer sliders work. Really neat (and in-browser capabilities never cease to amaze me).
- captbaritone 6y agoGlad you enjoyed it! The Winamp player ("Webamp") is open source: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp
- jbritton 6y agoAre there any details somewhere on how the skinning was implemented in software? It’s so amazingly flexible.
- captbaritone 6y agoThese "classic" skins were just a zip file (renamed to `.wsz`) containing a number of bmp sprite sheets. Future versions of Winamp had free form skins which consisted of XML and a custom scripting language called MAKI.
- ggm 6y agoAs a quad 22 owner, alas broken, I can recall running the quad 33 skin.
- Severian 6y agoWow, the skin I made is in there: https://skins.webamp.org/skin/20b66bbd0313e399e8981ead0b0bd264/Aureus1.0.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/20b66bbd0313e399e8981ead0b0bd2... I haven't seen this in what feels like forever. I use Foobar200 now. I made this using Dreamweaver when it was still popular and useful. It had really nice slicing features for graphics at the time.
- amazing_stories 6y agoNICE! I found the one I made as well. Holy nostalgia. I was actually using the skin several years ago on the Linux player Audacious. I should install it again...
- jarrell_mark 6y agoTry these out on VLC using these instructions: https://www.hacktrix.com/how-to-apply-winamp-skins-on-vlc-media-player https://www.hacktrix.com/how-to-apply-winamp-skins-on-vlc-me...
- temporallobe 6y agoI love the idea of software museums. We need more of these. In the future we will have to have something like software archeology to keep our aging legacy systems running in perpetuity. Imagine a large, critical legacy system built on ancient software continues for 100+ years, and the cost to replace it with modern technology is devastatingly expensive and close to impossible? Oh wait, we already have systems like that in the US Federal government! Okay they’re not more than a century old, but ai can imagine scenarios where they will be. The programmers for these systems are in now their sixties and early seventies, with very very few younger engineers learning the old stuff, especially recent graduates. We need a specialized CS program just for this.
- rdiddly 6y agoObligatory: that's not a llama you hear, it's probably a goat or sheep. The llama says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah4h3Mo4pRI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah4h3Mo4pRI
- atum47 6y agoThe nostalgia is strong with this one
- unethical_ban 6y agoY'all are talking like you don't have Winamp 5.666 installed on your PC right now.
- teaearlgraycold 6y agoAnyone else get glitched views when they open up an individual skin and it switches to the animated view? I'm on Firefox and it seems to work fine on Chrome.
- p1mrx 6y agoFusion and Cold Fusion were the best, IMO: - https://skins.webamp.org/skin/cc24464c27369f14e2631c709eb095f6/fusion_ampdeck_2.zip/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/cc24464c27369f14e2631c709eb095... - https://skins.webamp.org/skin/efb2ac84260d283513e8b940de12cf3d/cfusion202.zip/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/efb2ac84260d283513e8b940de12cf...
- serbrech 6y agooh, I scrolled through these and saw so many I've used, so many years ago... nostalgia.
- ptman 6y agoThere's also the archive.org winamp skins collections: https://archive.org/details/winampskins https://archive.org/details/winampskins
- captbaritone 6y agoThanks for pointing that out. This website draws from that exact collection.
- mattxxx 6y agoLinkin_Park_-_One_Step_Closer[128kbps].mp3 If you know, you know
- iszomer 6y agoNot a comprehensive collection; there are repositories of classic winamp skins scattered throughout the web. I myself still keep copies of every skin I've used in Qmmp.
- captbaritone 6y agoIf you know of any ones we are missing, please send them my way. I'd love to add them here and to the collection we maintain at the Internet Archive.
- iszomer 6y agodeviantart.com use to host plenty of winamp classic and modern skins (version 5+) but sadly, it's no longer publically browsable. Others like wincustomize.com and customize.org already have snapshots on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
- kayson 6y agoNo mention of 5.8 in the comments yet... winamp.com Is this really the original team? Or a clever scam?
- hinoki 6y agoSo nostalgic. In all the example images, the Matrix (1999) soundtrack will play after the Winamp intro sound. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HaF-nRS_CWM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HaF-nRS_CWM
- sizzle 6y agoSome of these are pure works of art....
- 6c696e7578 6y agoI 'member X11amp, it was in the glory days. Things were simple back then, no systemd, none of this k8s stuff, perl ruled the scripting scene and people wrote maintainable code. People had time to test their code. SCSI was the thing because you couldn't get IDE cd writers. Floppy drive cables had a twist so you had a primary and secondary. They were 50K per second. Mobile phone users complain loudly and change operators if their phone internet is slower than MB/s. Anyway, please add the x11amp skin! It was something like this: <http://daffyduke.lautre.net/pictures/png/x11amp.png> Hopefully it won't become my white whale, this rabbit hole has gone pretty deep: <http://www.x11amp.ml.org/> <https://web.archive.org/web/19981206071453/http://www.x11amp.ml.org/skins.html>
- jonny383 6y agoPlease don't hijack the back button. Ugh.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoSomehow I don't see most skins here that were popular in russia in late 90s..early00s. Have no idea where to dig them now, but some of those were really cool. A lot of them were anime-themed, movie-themed (Aliens, Predator, Matrix, Terminator, etc).
- arh68 6y agoNucleo AlienMind & NLog stand out in my memory, they were and are so great. I think Winamp clearly got a lot right. https://skins.webamp.org/skin/bfd4187850616fc9b4e433c4b632b68d/Nucleo_AlienMind_v5.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/bfd4187850616fc9b4e433c4b632b6... https://skins.webamp.org/skin/6edc6d5a5d07ceb361912824a17004d7/Nucleo_NLog_v102_.wsz/ https://skins.webamp.org/skin/6edc6d5a5d07ceb361912824a17004...
- timvisee 6y agoJeez there's a lot!
- gordaco 6y agoThis is absolutely awesome. As someone who is still using Winamp daily, I'm thinking of replacing my shortcut with a script that, before launching the executable, opens the .ini file and writes some random skin's name in the property, so that at each execution I'll be shown a different skin.
- perryizgr8 6y agoI wasted hours with winamps themes, and the advanced visualization studio. I like to think I managed to create some half decent presets too.
- V-2 6y agoOK, I'll be the one to say it. Nostalgia aside, 99% of these skins make me think "why on Earth would anyone want an app they use to look like that??"
- Fnoord 6y agoSome kind of dark version was my fav (a bit like Xmms looked by default). Most special one, aesthetically (yet still with function of Winamp), was probably Winamp with a Kjofel skin/interface.
- Gwxz 6y agoI still use Winamp. Many skins and plugins still available - http://www.mywinamp.com http://www.mywinamp.com
