Winamp

Classic audio software

Winamp is a media player application for Windows, dominant in the late 1990s and early 2000s for playing MP3 files.

Known for its customizable interface through downloadable "skins" and its startup sound clip: "Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass." The name blends Windows and amp (amplifier).
