xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.
But I have put in my google drive ...
well...
prolly the largest most complete collection of skins there may be.

I believe it is pretty much every winamp2 skin ever released excepting a couple for sure..perfectly compat. with winamp2, oscp, audacious and xmms.

As far as winamp3 and winamp5 skins well I don't think it's all of the officially released ones...still...not bad eh?

This is THE treasure trove of skins...tons for everyone...enough even to glut the most jaded who needs a "new" or "different" skin every 5 minutes to get his or her amp-fix. :D

All in genre subfolders .
some are for winamp3 some for winamp5.
but there are thousands and thousands for winamp2, oscp, audacious and xmms.
it's about 1.2 gb hehe
I'm not sure how long I'll have it available ... a week... possibly a month.
Depends on how many want this I guess.

here is the google drive link to the rar.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q...ew?usp=sharing

Update: Weeellll I just checked the link...and it works but naturally the size is too large for google to virus scan.
But if it helps any.
I always do a triple check of files before I upload them.
And I do daily scans of my system so I'm always confident it is always pristine and uncompromised.
So if it helps any...You have my word the files are clean.
If of course my word means anything to you or holds any value of moral currency with you ...that is.
Of course don't take my word for it.
Download it, sandbox it, and scan it if you wish to feel more comfy.
Or don't download it
:D
s'up to you.

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

um, is there a way to download them as a single zip archive? there are not previews and clicking 4000 times isn't exactly easy

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

heh. yea Kot.
hm...be a darn big zip file .
hm
perhaps I'll rar it all and put it up as well.
I figured few would want to download such a huge file....but yea...I'll do just that.
It should be up by tonight.
I think as far as previewing them all...perhaps "winamp skin maker" would allow viewing in a more friendly and user convenient manner.
I can't remem if that was the prog that allowed such viewing or not.
Anyway...tonight a big rar. is comin'

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

you can pack them by categories, 14 zips are still far more convenient to download than 4000 :)

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

erp. too late ..
1.2 gb skins rar is going up now.
hehe...
either it will be irritation by 4000 pinpricks
or blunt force trauma from gettin' beaned with the 1.2 gb rar.

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

imo 1.2gb is not that huge, 120gb would be something of another caliber though ;)

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin mondo collection.
 

yea...it ain't as bad as that thank goodness.
hm.
yea actually once it is available I'll change the link so it doesn't confuse.
So it will simply be the rar.... for conveniences sake.

Edit: done earlier than I figured.

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

Just started using audacious on my linux box and was looking for skins for couple of days and wow..around a gig of winamp skins? That's some huge collection.I will download it today but i was wondering how am i going to browse all these skins.I agree with KotCzarny that a preview of skins would have definitely help. Thanks endsormeans for uploading the collection.

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

@valiant29: may i suggest you to try my oscp player on your linux box? you might like it, especially the part where you can control it remotely from n900

shall i write a script to create previews from the skins?

Re: xmms-oscp-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

@val.
I found a long time ago ...most skin sites were becoming terrible...or were shutting down. I figured instead waiting for the day when I finally was resorting to picking one at a time through piles of poo. I'd start compiling the beast of all beasts of a skins repo. Took a mitey looooong time...finished the bulk of it almost a decade ago now.
Here is the result.
EVERY skin in one download.
hehe...yea..forgot about audacious...yea work for that player too of course.

(BTW I mentioned "winamp skin maker" as being one of the few progs that can preview skins... in bulk..by folder contents even )

You'll have fun with them I'm sure.
esp alot of the neon, flat, bubbled, 3d'd, pale, opaque, plain, sports, classic looking amplifiers , sound systems, environmentals, and classical skins such as cathedral, caesaramp, edo, colossus, manuscript and such.

@Kot - "shall i write a script to create previews from the skins?"
damn straight.
that sounds like a very very very very good idea. built in preview is better than wracking the brain trying to remem. ones you liked out of literally 1000's of skins .

It also means it would make it MUCH easier to make a short (haha) list of favourites ...best of the best ...according to personal tastes and have them on hand for whatever mood.
And keep the beastly rar in storage for when you get bored with your current list and want to change it up.

I don't expect anyone to like EVERYTHING in the monster rar.
BUT I KNOW there is tons of stuff everyone will love.

Also I feel better knowing I'm not the only person with this vast skinz repository and hence ...the more who have it...the less likely all this work is lost due to collapse of my personal storages or other unforeseen mishap.

Speaking of storages and stuff's ...I have a small bit of interesting collected bits I'll also put up on the drive for the n8x0...later.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

I downloaded it and it came around 1.3 gb after uncomperessing rar.
Before few days, i was searching skin one by one online and installing them and today from this rar i have hell lot of skins layin around on my linux pc.Its kinda like ocean of winamp skins.Can't make up my mind which one to try first, there are literally 1000's of them and oragnized in specific folders.Cool collection endsormeans.
I wish xmms or audcious could support .wal skin.I checked xmms faq page and it says .wal support is not implemented.

btw i checked winamp skin maker and since it has .exe extension, i will have to fire up virtual box to use it.Never had luck with wine in linux.

@KotCzarny Thanks for your suggestion.I will definitely give it a go on the linux pc.I love apps made by this community people.I was under the impression its only for nokia 800 or n900.Might have missed release notes.I already have it on my n900 and so far works great.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

hi folks, upped the previews:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oscp/files/tmp/

some files failed to parse (will make a nice testing ground for oscp skin cutter), but most did fine. if you want all files in one dir you can unzip without paths or do:
@valiant29: good to hear from a happy oscp user! if you like it comment on it's thread and spread the word :)

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

@Val.- hehe ...I wasn't kidding when I said it was alot of skins...yea...there is tons here for everyone. hehe literally an ocean of skins is right. thankfully it is organized according to the original winamp skin sub-site categories to make the process of hunting for what you wish less daunting.
winamp2-xmms-oscp-audacious use .wsz no prob
winamp3-winamp5 use .wal
hm...got me thinking. I'll mention it after this brief interlude.
[Girl from Ipanema plays in the background]

@Kot.- excellent excellent excellent.... that is one helpful lil script.
thanks Kot.

I'm going to do a bit of looky-looing...got an idea ...back in a sec. ....literally.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

Hm...
well strange I never thought of it before..
I did some hunting ...
I thought it would be grand if I could find a .wal extension to .wsz extension batch-file converter ...then just convert the entirety of the collection straight into .wsz ...at least then it may be possible to use or extract or convert a .png from it (which is a step in the right direction) ...which then makes ALL the skins useable instead of 2/3 to 3/4 of the collection useable for xmms-oscp-audaicious-winamp2...
haven't found a great deal of testimonial hard results...still looking.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

if the format is simple enough and if there are nice skins out there i can simply add .wal support to oscp

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

"if" there are nice skins out there?
wow man...some of the nicest are .wal ...of course meant for winamp3-winamp5 .
.wsz is classic winamp skin extension.
And 1/3 (for sure) to maybeeee almost 1/2 of all the skins in this collection are in .wal

But if you could make oscp run .wal's too...then pretty much all winamp skins are usable..no filtering needed. That just expands the list of usable skins from 2000-2500ish to well....allllll 4000.

If you can do it...that is a mind blowing amount of option that no player past or current player has.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

I searched for the converter online but couldn't find it.Both versions are backward compatible in winamp player, its just .wsz only works on linux players.

Thanks for the preview skins folders.Now its easy to see the skin before loading on to the player.

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

Actually yea they are backward compat. with winamp5 (never bothered with later versions after winamp2)..it seems it is the only player which can use both .wsz and .wal skin formats.
rather ..it is the only player that can play both ...until oscp can do it (cross fingers)

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

And actually looking at the numbers ...

in the collection:

the number of .wsz skins compat. with xmms-audacious-oscp-winamp2 (and backward compat. with winamp5 ... :D) is 2057 (there seems to be a duplication of some.. so the initial number is 2935 .wsz skins...after the redundancy is taken out it loses almost 900 dupes.)

the number of .wal skins compat. (for now only :D) with winamp5 is 871 (as well there seems to be some redundancy considering the original number of .wal skins was 1216...meaning that there were some 455 dupes.)

The winamp5 .wal skins were unique in their structural variance from the typical block look stylized in .wsz skins.
so the big question is...even though .wal skin offers something really different in visual approach...
Is it worth the work to make .wal compatible for only 871 potential structurally varied (albeit beautiful) skin options?

Re: xmms-oscp-audacious-winamp skin (shy of a couple... almost the) compleat collection.
 

added fixups to oscc and reupped previews archive, later i'll make oscp packages with updated oscc (ie. oscp will read skins right)

idea: button in oscp to load random skin
update: done, works amazingly with such big skin library. packages wll be upped when i hunt one lttle bug
