Author here. I wrote a Twitter thread demonstrating many of its features. You can find it here: https://mobile.twitter.com/captbaritone/status/9612747140133...
Does it support m3u or playlists over HTTP?

Honestly, skinning is probably easier today than it ever has been. With custom client-side stylesheets, there's no reason someone couldn't roll out custom skins for sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Unfortunately, even proficient developers are having trouble due to some misguided technical choices those websites are making: https://twitter.com/sindresorhus/status/900005504931438593
Edit: read the FAQ, downvotes are not for disagreement.

I bet there's branding and usability reasons for Facebook to avoid allowing you to skin/theme it to the extent Winamp was skinnable. Not sure I know what those are, but I just really doubt they'll ever add that feature.
While it worked great for Winamp and a few other apps, the process was a negative for others: MySpace being a big example. People modifying their pages to look like Angelfire/Geocities sites from back in the day killed any interest I had in them.
Amazing. Wishful thinking: If this included something akin to Shoutcast (perhaps via WebRTC), it would give us back the peer-to-peer listening joy we had for small groups and teams back in the day. I miss the era when things were more commonly/naturally peer-to-peer and decentralized.
Shoutcast and the real-time visualisations are two killer features Winamp had that I don't think any media player since has even come close to competing with. I'm not saying there aren't still decent media players out there, but honestly I think Winamp is still the best there's ever been.

If those websites don't wish to support skinning, I don't see how the technical choices are misguided.
Edit: I now realize that, taken out of context, my comment sounds pretty twisted.

Shoutcast was amazing, I can easily credit it to opening up my music horizons to bands that just weren't played on the radio at the time(euro-metal/etc \m/ \m/). To this day I find Spotify and its competitors a poor substitute, algorithms still can't match a well curated station.
Shoutcast / icecast still is amazing. Still running a few environments and they perform great. If you're looking to tune in to something, I like http://www.somafm.com , possibly the original spotify / coding playlist. (BeatBlender, etc)
A few things I noticed: I am trying a long live set and times over 100 minutes are not shown properly. I shows modulo of 100.
Left and right arrows shortcuts should be jump 5 seconds not 5 minutes.

Probably because he is on macOS or Linux.
winamp 2 almost certainly runs fine under wine.
