This all got started because of the skins.Īs part of our celebration of all things Internet, the Archive now has a large collection of Winamp Skins, which were artistic re-imaginings of the Winamp interface, that allowed all sorts of neat creative works on what could have been a basic media player. (If, by mistake, you click on the Llama, clicking on it again will turn off the Webamp player and restore the default player.) This means the Grateful Dead recordings, radio airchecks, network record labels like monotonik, and all manner of podcasts now have the capability to be turned into a Winamp-like player that becomes your new default. To help you avoid this llama, we’ll tell you it’s in the upper right corner of any Internet Archive item that has a music player in it. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LLAMA.Ĭlicking on the Llama will release Webamp, a javascript-based player that mimics, down to individual strangeness and bugs, the operations of the once dominant Winamp, a media player considered to be one of the classic software creations of the 1990s.
