Does anyone on this internet remember Winamp?  Before you kids had iTunes, we had this heaping pile of garbage.  It was insanely tedious to make playlists and generally do anything with it, but the upside was that you could skin it with “wacky” themes (the more sci-fi/futuristic the better).

It got bought by AOL years ago and they left it to die, and apparently you can still buy a copy for $19.95 on their site.
