Ugh! Can't we have a version of VLC that simply accepts winamp skins? That would be a much better idea.

Vlc supports original Winamp skins… I plan to improve this in the future btw :)
Kinda, apparently: https://www.vlchelp.com/winamp-skins-vlc-media-player/

This sounds dubious and/or outdated: https://www.hacktrix.com/how-to-apply-winamp-skins-on-vlc-me...

Perhaps images can be replaced in the skins that work, the oldschool way.

There is QMMP, which has been my daily driver for many years, and is still under active development.

VLC doesn't do gapless. That disqualifies it as a reasonable music player.
Tried Audacious?
not... yet.
