Audacious has a classic Winamp skin: https://store.kde.org/p/1008329/ (Note, I don’t use this program and cannot assist further.)
Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/
You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don’t think people are making HD winamp skins these days…
The fact that winamp still exists is just silly fun.
