Audion wakes from the dead, in a stripped down new body.

Panic that made the Audion audio player has put out this on their blog here: https://panic.com/blog/

Once upon a time, we made one of the earliest MP3 players for the Mac, Audion. We’ve come to appreciate that Audion captured a special moment in time, and we’ve been trying to preserve its history. Back in March, we revealed that we were working on converting Audion faces to a more modern format so they could be preserved.
Since then, we’ve succeeded in converting 867 faces, and are currently working on a further 15 faces, representing every Audion face we know of.
Today, we’d like to give you the chance to experience these faces yourself on any Mac running 10.12 or later. We’re releasing a stripped-down version of Audion for modern macOS to view these faces.

A variant of Audion that plays via Spotify is called Spaudion and is coded by Steve Landey here:

Screenshot attached is mine for reference.

I'd love to make skins for this, but Bowtie also continues to work with Big Sur, so I'm not sure entirely. The archive of old Audion skins is huge as witnessed on macintoshgarden
