For those who don't want to navigate Twitter for whatever reason (tracking, slows down your browser, bad UI, etc.), here's the content from the thread (the images and videos are still Twitter-hosted, by the way):
Getting all of this to work entirely in the browser has been a great challenge, and I've learned a lot. Thanks to @The_DoctorO for being an invaluable source of insider information. Thanks to @LuigiHann for catching many small places where I hand't perfectly recreated Winamp's handling of skins. Thanks to @ja2ke for the original retweet which I believe kicked this whole thing off more than three years ago. And of course, thanks to @JustinFrankel. ️

No worries about copy/pasting. Twitter’s UI is not the ideal way to interact with this stuff, but it was the easiest way for me to put together all those short videos. Thanks for helping make it accessible.

It's done! Winamp2-js (https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/) finally supports all three windows!
To celebrate, here's a list of some of the cool things it can do: (thread) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVcfDHBVQAAp3Tm?format=png
* Load any classic Winamp skin just by dragging it onto the main window. (Shoutout to @stuk for JSZip which lets us decompress .wsz files in the browser. (link: https://stuk.github.io/jszip/) https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961271636983820288/pu/v...
* Drag local audio files into the playlist to queue them up. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961271712238063621/pu/v...
* Visualize your music with the bar or line visualizer. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961271795725709314/pu/v...
* Adjust the fully functional EQ to pump up the bass. (Shoutout to @epistemex for cardinal-spline-js (link: https://github.com/epistemex/cardinal-spline-js)) https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961271880035389441/pu/v...
* Import/export Winamp's own binary EQ settings files. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272045177782275/pu/v...
* Export your playlist as an .html file. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272121270743040/pu/v...
* Save screen real estate with each window's "shade" mode. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVcf90bVQAALtl_?format=jpg
* See each file's title/artist as specified in its ID3 tags. (Shoutout to @aadsm for jsmediatags (link: https://github.com/aadsm/jsmediatags)) https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272266322407425/pu/v...
* If a skin specifies some transparent regions in its region.txt, they are respected. (Shoutout to @SaraSoueidan for (link: https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-svg-clipping/)) https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272327584403457/pu/v...
* Drag windows around, and easily align them with window snapping. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272384148815873/pu/v...
* Use hotkeys to control all major functions. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272440251822080/pu/v...
* Select/drag tracks to reorder them. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272499219587072/pu/v...
* "Double" mode (ctrl+d) makes the main and EQ windows twice as big. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVcgTW3VMAAgrdc?format=jpg
