Retro Winamp Block

ವಿವರಣೆ

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!

Changing Player Skins

In order to select alternate player skins, browse the Winamp Skin Museum and find a preferred skin, copy the URL of the specific skin (e.g., 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 or to the Webamp project on GitHub.

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. We recommend downloading the base Winamp skin, 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 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!
