Thank you to Justin Frankel and everyone at Nullsoft for Winamp which inspired so many of us. While the Winamp name, interface, and, sample audio file are surely property of Nullsoft, the code within this project is released under the MIT License. That being said, if you do anything interesting with this code, please let me know.

Same as above with plugin description:
Now I’ll tell you how to get yours looking like the screens above.
First I want to make absolutely clear that these plugins are not mine. I’ve modified them to look and act as I desire.
What I did was mod:
1 – ExpensiveHi-Fi skin- changed text and cursors back to default (from purple/animated to green/standard).
Also, “The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…” ?
2 – Stereo Analog VU Meter – Modded look by photoshopping it to look like ExpensiveHi-Fi.
