Allthough Winamp v3 has been out for some months now, many people prefer the v2 versions of Nullsoft's Audio player. V3 comes with lot's of features many people experience as unnecessary. Fortunately for them (including myself), v2 is still developed as well...

hot new default skin, done by none other than the evil robot turned good, Steve Gedikian
