Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/
You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don’t think people are making HD winamp skins these days…
That was one of the big selling points of Audacious (and XMMS back in the day) - Winamp skin support.
Nice. I assume it make sense, because the skins are all the same, just different styling for colors and images. Good to know (for future recommendations).
