There is a website that shows screenshots of tens of thousands of old Winamp skins.

The skins are a remnant from an era where tons of people created skins according to their tastes. There is a
lot of range and creativity here. The skin museum is quite a sight, especially for people who grew up at the time.

Loved Winamp back in the day, but don't use it anymore.
I know someone that still uses Winamp. That person likes familiarity and doesn't like change

I heard of WinAmp and I know it was popular.
Many of these skins are real gems.
Great post especially for those who are interested in artistic interface design and emotional design (

Thanks!

Maybe they are compatible with WACUP (WinAmp Community Update Project) -->

Winamp skins are compatible with plenty of modern mediaplayers -- e.g,
QMMP just to name one (see the following screenshot for a skinned example, originally posted to
viewtopic.php?p=95188#p95188)...

Yeah, I know of Qmmp, but it's missing some features from Winamp that make Winamp special. I'd probably use WACUP instead if I wanted to use Winamp.
I mostly use 1by1 nowadays because I just want to play stuff from directories.
