Winamp in a Window

Unify your Winamp UI with the Winamp Single GUI skin.

Winamp is one of the most popular 3rd party media players for Windows. With excellent integrated support for a huge variety of codecs, excellent media management capabilities, and simple streaming media navigation it is one of my first installations when I setup a clean system. Although, I prefer Media Player for watching video, I exclusively use Winamp for audio. One of the features that has always set Winamp apart from its competition is it's well established skinning capabilities. There are probably thousands of skins available for Winamp that can satisfy any computer users aesthetic sensibilities.

I think that I have tried every variation of these skins at some point over the past couple years, to varying levels of satisfaction but have always returned to the default Modern skin that ships with Winamp. It's has a solid feel to it and is easy to navigate, with medium sized buttons that are easy to read and logically laid out. Unfortunately, the one thing that I never liked about any of the Winamp skins was that all the sections of the UI are seperate, albeit dockable, windows. The player, library, play list, equalizer, now playing and video are all seperate windows that can float around your screen.

Enter the Winamp Single GUI skin which uses the Modern skin as it's default look but combines all the major elements into one simple to navigate window.



Download it and give it shot. Personally, I think Winamp should ship this as one of their default skin options.
