A Winamp-skinned Native Audio Player on Ubuntu

Let us introduce you to QMMP, a native audio player on Ubuntu which can be configured to look like Winamp -- an old audio player program popular among many Microsoft Windows users -- with skins. When you look at it, you might not believe it is a native Ubuntu application.
