## Description

Do you miss the days of filling up your computer’s harddrive with MP3 files, burning
CDs with your favorite party mixes, the glam and grunge fashion styles, waiting 
every week for the latest episodes of Friends and Sex and the City (sorry, no binging
on streaming episodes), and all that came with the 90s? Do you wish the WordPress
core blocks offered you more styles to match your interests? Then look no further,
because this plugin transforms a bland audio block into a llama-riffic Winamp-stlyed
audio block!

**Disclaimer:** _[Winamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winamp) and the Winamp logo
are property of [Nullsoft Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsoft) and its 
owner [Radionomy Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionomy) (now defunct). 
This project also leverages the [MIT-licensed](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp/blob/master/LICENSE.txt)
[Webamp player](https://webamp.org/), many thanks to Jordan Eldredge for his efforts
there._

### Changing Player Skins

In order to select alternate player skins, browse [the Winamp Skin Museum](https://skins.webamp.org/)
and find a preferred skin, copy the URL of the specific skin (e.g., [https://skins.webamp.org/skin/bb0bf8064d108271afea419308dcb6ea/NES_Duck_Hunt.wsz/](https://skins.webamp.org/skin/bb0bf8064d108271afea419308dcb6ea/NES_Duck_Hunt.wsz/)),
and paste that URL in the `Skin URL` field in the Winamp Block Skin settings.

## FAQ

### This is amazing, how can I help contribute to this plugin?

Great question and I could not agree with you more! You can help contribute to this
[Winamp Block plugin on GitHub](https://github.com/10up/retro-winamp-block) or to
the [Webamp project on GitHub](https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp).

### Ok this is making me nostalgic, how can I submit a new skin for the player?

Details on how to create a new skin is available [here](https://github.com/WACUP/Winamp-Skinning-Archive/blob/master/Classic%20Skins/Winamp_skinning_tutorial_1_5_0.pdf).
We recommend downloading the [base Winamp skin](https://skins.webamp.org/skin/5e4f10275dcb1fb211d4a8b4f1bda236/base-2.91.wsz/),
renaming the file extension from .WSZ to .ZIP, unzipping that file and inspecting
all the bitmap and textfiles. Then use your favorite design program to craft a skin
design, cut it up into the component bitmap parts, add your info to the relevant
textfiles, then ZIP all that up and rename the extension to WSZ. Finally, [upload your custom skin](https://skins.webamp.org/upload/)
to the Winamp Skin Museum and once its accepted you’ll be able to reference it within
the Winamp Block’s Skin settings. Good luck!
