On Twitter, Eldredge notes he’s still taking collections for the project if you have any skins you want to donate, and he describes the collection as capturing “an iconic moment in internet art history.”Īdafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. The skins were previously collected on the Internet Archive but assembled into this new accessible format by Facebook engineer Jordan Eldredge. There’s a default playlist (which includes the “Llama Whippin’ Intro”), and you can even load audio files into it from your computer, if you happen to have any lying around. It’s an endlessly scrolling collection of 65,000 Winamp skins, searchable and fully interactive. Just in case you want to go on a trip down WinAmp memory lane, check out The Winamp Skin Museum. For us, WinAmp, and WinAmp skins, are an endless journey back to when the internet seemed like a wonderful frontier of opportunities. Of all the many things that GenXers annoy the rest of the world with, lovingly reflecting on the age of WinAmp might be the most boring - for everyone else.
