The organization has added numerous collections to the archive in recent years. While I prefer AIMP over Winamp, as the former is in active developed, I know quite a few users who still use Winamp for audio playback on their devices.Ī central repository for Winamp skins is a welcome addition to the Internet Archive.

If you use Webamp, simply right-click on the player on the Webamp website and select Skins > Load Skin to select a skin from the local system.

The skin is then available just like any of the default skins. Note that this may require elevation and that you will get an "are you sure" prompt. Winamp users need to drop the skin file on the player interface to install it. It is not possible for instance to play Internet Radio using Webamp. Moreover, there is also the option to download the skin on your PC.You can load local music in the player and play it right away, or play the default playlist instead. Here, you will find 4 pre-loaded songs that you can play by clicking the play button. Now, clicking on any of the 65,000 skins for the player will open up a live and interactive UI for the player. That is what made this media player so popular amongst the music lovers. Back in the days, these skins were designed by Winamp users from all over the world. So once you open the website, immediately you will notice the massive mosaic of the skins for the retro software. “The Winamp Skin Museum is an attempt to build a fast, searchable, and shareable, interface for the collection of Winamp Skins amassed on the Internet Archive,”, says the Eldredge, the creator of the project.

You can browse through the skins and interact with the player as if it was already installed on your PC. Created by Jordan Eldredge, an engineer working at Facebook, the “Winamp Skin Museum” contains over 65,000 skins that were made for the media player back when it was popular in the market.
