1: HOW DID I GET THIS FILE AND WHAT IS A SKIN? (Introduction)
-----------------

This file is a .Zip, or other archive format, intended to be used with Winamp, a wonderful
MP3 player for the Windows and Mac operating system.  I'm not sure if they have it for
Unix and Linux, but if you got this file and you're running some form of Unix-ish operating
system, chances are you can find Winamp for your system.

A "Skin" basically is a bunch of drawings that Winamp uses to show the user interface.  The
purpose of skins is to make the interface friendly and customizeable.  Without skins, we'd
all look at the same boring window until somebody hacked the .exe file and realized that
the pictures Winamp uses are bitmaps encoded into the .exe, so it is made easier for us
by them letting us change it.

You can download tons of skins at http://www.winamp.com/ and http://www.winampskins.com/
Both of these sites use ratings, displaying the best ones first, then going to the worst
or less creative ones.  You can also search on Yahoo or Lycos for "winamp skins" and find
tons of personal pages that have skins on them, sometimes much better than the ones on
Winamp's webpage.

Now that you know WHAT a skin is and WHY it's here, let's move on to how to install it.



2: HOW TO INSTALL THIS SKIN:
-----------------

Load your archive extraction utility, like Winzip, and expand the contents of this .zip file
into the folder:  "C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINAMP\SKINS\MOODY PURPLE"

Exit Winzip, and load Winamp.  Press Alt+S to view your skins, and find "Moody Purple".
Click it.  Click Close.  That's it.



Have Fun!
