How to get the windows media player skins in 2024!!

Do you remember/know those windows media player skins from the 2000s?


Examples:




Do you wish to have them now, but don't know how to get them or if you can even still get these cool skins? Well there is still a way to obtain them and I'm gonna give you a pretty easy tutorial on how to get them! :D


__________________________________________________________________________

Step 1: 

Go to Turn windows features on or off in your settings and make sure windows media player legacy is on (Can be found under media features)


Step 2:

Open Windows media player legacy. (It won't work if you use the newer WMP)


Step 3: 

Open your browser and go to WMP skins archive.


Step 4:

Find a skin that you like and download it.


Step 5:

When you download the skin, WMP will automatically open the skin chooser page (accessed through view)


Step 6:

When the skin finishes downloading, double click the WMZ file. When you see the popup, click 'yes'.


Step 7:

When your skin shows up in skin chooser, make sure your desired skin is selected before clicking 'Apply Skin'

Now you have a fun little media player skin to decorate your desktop with that you can listen to music through!!


I hope you enjoy it :D

As much as I hated Windows Media Player back in the day, I still loved the skins!
