Winamp - media player

Tested WACUP_Preview_v1_99_13_19100 x86.
However, once everything was over and I moved the resulted files where I wanted them, the app itself seems to be portable and stealth.

hi
may i know how to create a portable and stealth WACUP application?
just because with winamp is not possbile , even with the tutorial
thanks

I just executed the WACUP installer in Sandboxie, chose portable mode when asked, copied the installation folder outside and removed the sandbox to clean everything.

hi
well i will it try to make full portable
can i ask you 2 questions?
1) should i run winamp.exe or wacup.exe ?

2) is there a way to disable browser and visualization ?


thanks

1) wacup.exe

2) That is the "Big bento" skin. You can disable visualization plug-ins and web browser from Preferences.

Via the Winamp Skin Museum: Oh, the joys of retro-computing.

In January of 2021 I was exploring the corpus of Skins I collected for the Winamp Skin Museum and found some that seemed corrupted, so I decided to explore them. Winamp skins are actually just zip files with a different file extension, so I tried extracting their files to see what I could find. This ended up leading me down a series of wild rabbit holes...

Finally, I thought to look for skins that contained other skins within them, and discovered 127 skins! 54 of which were not already in the museum, so I uploaded them.
