An old Winamp skin I made in 2002 still works on modern Windows somehow
It took me 20 minutes to find it on a dusty hard drive but it loaded right up with the MP3s I'd already forgotten I had - has anyone else had an ancient skin or plugin that just refused to die?

Has anyone actually tried running those old Winamp skins through Windows 11? I dug out a Sonique skin from 2001 and it somehow still works without any compatibility mode tweaks. The whole thing feels like a time capsule - the neon colors, the sharp edges, even the old EQ sliders still move exactly how I remember them.

sharp edges" lol yeah those things could actually cut you if you got too close to the monitor. Kinda wild that something from 23 years ago just boots up like nothing changed while half my Steam games need three patches and a prayer to even launch.
