Bravo Bichur...
I think that was one of the first problems I encountered a few years back. You could tell me to rename that zip 10000 times...but show me in a picture- that I can grasp.

Yep. I noticed in the poster's pic it looks like it was renamed it to multipass.wsz.zip
maybe it's a WinRar thing? I don't have WinRar.

If the poster does not have Windows explorer set to show extentions . . they can rename until the cows come home and it will always end in zip.

If renaming is a problem you can just unzip the contents into C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins. Right click on winamp - skins- choose your skin. It should still accept it. Good luck

Or you can copy the zip into that \winamp\skins folder and choose.
Unzipping isn't 'needed'...

If your download is a 'zip'...rename that suffix to 'wsz' and double click.
A Winamp 'skin' is simply a renamed zip archive...
