tsk tsk - such lazy lazy detective we've become these days. :D ;) :D From the readme of the skin in RD's first link.

Thanks for downloadnig the skin! In my opinion it's the best on the
world and looks great on the black desktop. I didn't make the whole
skin by myslef - I was inspired by the Pioneer skin, which was made
by Pordey <ppardi@planet.it> and this skin was a base for my MoonAmp.
I changed almost ecerysthing, except of the frames, which are perfect,
but I don't have do write it - you can see what I mean.
If you want you can take a look at my web page.
Actually it's a big page for young peaope,
but it's whole in my native language - polish ;)

a Googlesearch (http://www.google.com) for Pioneer Pordey led to (as Wally suspected) several old school winamp skin pages, one of which actually had author website links. Miracle of miracles, this guy's had a redirect to a new page, and here (http://space.tin.it/clubnet/paolpard/gray/Framewinamp.htm) you may find the skins section of the original author of Pioneer Mp3800s-256. It's the first skin on page 2, and dates to 1998. (It seems we actually have this guy to thank for a lot of the great old school pioneer skins.)
So - 1490 (http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=1490) is an 'inspired rip'.
1773 (http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=1773) is an 'improvement rip' (he's added the MB)
and 68957 (http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=68957) is actually a combination of elements from several 'stereo deck' skins.
I've not removed any - I'm waiting on opinions from you guys. I tend to want to remove all of them, since I really don't think there are many original elements in the 'improvements', and since I thought we decided that any improvements should be submitted by the author himself. But. Whatever you guys think. :)
