Bring back original Winamp GUI when 5.x first came out!

inachu · 12th May 2015, 14:20

Not sure how much backend in winamp is local on the PC VS other stuff located on the internet but I really missed the GUI when 5 first came out with streaming video.

I just feel like the current GUI backend is a total mess.

Each minor revision since then it has gotten worse and worse.

The very worst of all changes was when I was unable to locate shoutcast streams inside winamp.

the 'Winamp Modern' skin as provided as the default skin from 5.0 until the 5.5 release (when the Bento skins became the default) is still shipped with Winamp, so you just need to change the skin to get it back.

the SHOUTcast stuff is all server-side so you're probably never going to see it looking like it did with 5.0.
