    I came across this Hacker News post about the "Winamp Skin Museum" (absolutely worth a click) and did some digging and found that the old Winamp player is maintained as a web app and electron app. It might be worth your time to dig up some old songs and embrace nostalgia.

      There's also Winamplify, an alternative web client for Spotify that uses Webamp.

      Audacious is also a great drop in replacement on Linux (and also potentially Windows, though you can still use the old versions on it) that's fully compatible with Winamp 2 skins and also uses very little CPU and memory. It was my music player for many years on the desktop, and it would still be today if I wasn't in the TDE/KDE world and using Amarok (especially v1) instead.
