I'm actually genuinely interested in researching this for a reason - does anyone know what totally-user-skinnable apps existed before Winamp? Incidentally, if you long for a Windows Media Player with the old v6 interface but with modern features, I highly recommend Media Player Classic: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ ... which is worth keeping around even if you have VLC as it's slightly less hateful about certain things, such as ACTUALLY WORKING OUT WHERE MY BLOODY DVD DRIVE IS. -- YozThere's stuff above here
