Also, if you had the misfortune of running the software on Windows, it insisted on trying to look like a mac. In it's meager defense, almost all media players tried to look non-native at the time.
Skinning media players was one of the ways I got into graphic design (and became a software developer as a result). It was a ton of fun as a kid! I wonder if kids these days have anything like it. You sure can’t skin Spotify or Apple Music.
