WinAmp, it really whips the llama's ass :) What was your favorite skin on Winamp?

Nothing specific. Usually it was sci-fi interface stuff with high contrast buttons so the skin didn't obscure the function.

No skin. My internet was too slow and paid per minute to browse for skins :(

- vanilla - ported v3 skin - some deluxe hifi brand (pioneer, Denon forgot) Strange times where skeumorphism reigned supreme.

  Speaking of skeuomorphism, before MP3 was a thing and Winamp I played many a MIDI and wav file in addition to actual CD's on Audiostation: https://www.audiostation.org/ https://www.audiostation.org/

one customized by me from a gray plain (I think it was a macosx like) i lost a lot of hours instead of studying for that skin, somewhere in the Ark-HDs I should still have it (I hope)

I remember playing with skins for a while, but since I mostly used Winamp without looking at it, I stopped caring about skins and appreciated the stock 2.x look. Who knew that a modular, black/gray aesthetic reminiscent of high end audio equipment would be timeless? I've tried to use other players (Foobar, VLC) with Winamp skins, but they never looked or functioned right, so I kept coming back to the original.

  You just detonated a nostalgia cobalt bomb, this was my favourite as well. So well crafted in it’s thoughtful details.
