Skins

Winamp offers you the ability to create a skin and post it for others to review and download. If you create a skin, we will show your user name and provide a link so that others can send you an email. We also give you the option to write a review of a skin. The review will appear with the skin and will contain your Winamp username. Our site automatically keeps track of the number of times a skin has been downloaded. Some of our advertising partners may create skins that contain web beacons. These web beacons provide the advertiser with information about the use of the skin such as the number of times the user clicked on the advertiser's logo.
