    yea i wish they included the skinnin features on winamp. i guess the only way to do it is to have advanced knowledge of the source code and manually change the layout of it. maybe add code so you can put your own picture... calling all programmers!

    You LIKE iTunes? You're the first Windows user I've heard say that :(

    I would think a skin would slow it down even more...

    WARNING...
    Do not download the skinning software (mplugin 2.5) unless you have Itunes 7.0 or earlier. it is only compatible with these versions. Unfortunately I didn't read this and now I can't get itunes to work and i am not alone http://www.joejoe.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13576&pid=200874&st=0&#entry200874. I've tried re installing and unistalling both itunes and mplugin running system restore and all to no avail. DO NOT INSTALL THIS!!! Edit: Jus got itunes working again. completely unistalled and reinstalled it for the third time and for some reason got it to work.

    Go and tell Steve Jobs.... he loves the Zen lifestyle of simplicity...he was always inspired by simplicity and hence all Apple interfaces are by default plain jane
