Hey! Author of the project here (not op). Happy to answer any questions. The code, and instructions for using it on your own site, can be found here on GitHub: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp
For anyone wanting to dip back into the nostalgia of Winamp and Milkdrop without installing any software, I made https://webamp.org for that exact purpose.

It can render real Milkdrop presets and real classic winamp skins directly in the browser.

Also, it’s open source: https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp

Author here, thanks for (re)posting!

Webamp's ability to render classic Winamp skins led to a collaboration with the Internet Archive where we preserved ~70k (and counting) classic Winamp skins.

I also built the Winamp Skin Museum (https://skins.webamp.org/) where you can infinite scroll through those 70k skins and try them out in your browser with one click.

Most recently I've been experimenting with improving the visualizer's performance with an in-browser Eel-Wasm compiler. Blog post here: https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/speeding-up-winamps-music-vi...

The project has given me lots of enjoyment over the years, and I'm glad to see that others are enjoying it as well.

It uses Webamp under the hood, which is pretty impressive on it's own.

This live in-browser preview (powered by Webamp[1]?) is amazing

Webamp - "A reimplementation of Winamp 2.9 in HTML5 and Javascript"

- Load any classic Winamp skin just by dragging it onto the main window. - If a skin specifies some transparent regions in its region.txt, they are respected.
