When you want to use a skin in Winamp, you need to create a subdirectory for it within your Winamp skins directory, and then unzip the skin to that directory you created.

Winamp is usually stored within the Program Files directory on your hard
drive. If it's somewhere else, just unzip the skin to where ever else it needs to go.

If for example, you wanted to use my R-Type Delta skin, you create a
directory called R-Type (or whatever you wish to use), within the directory Winamp\Skins\.

Once you've got the skin unzipped to a new directory in the Skins directory,

Use Winamp's Skin Browser (in the Options menu) to change the skin
you're using in Winamp.

There are a few other nice Winamp shooter skins on the Web too, like a
Gradius skin...so once you're used to getting Winamp skins to work, try
looking for some more!

Cya later!
