- Mac users with Winamp skin collections
- Worth noticing
- Its Pixdrop visualizer lists 15 named presets and says each blends into the next every 20 to 35 seconds.
Field notes
The skin workflow is based on .wsz files, described as ZIP archives of bitmaps; Pixamp says it uses the original sprites and coordinates, with Graphite filling gaps where a skin lacks bitmaps. Lyrics come from local .lrc files rather than an in-app download, and users can adjust timing in quarter-second increments. For command control, the page describes a socket limited to the user's account and says it opens no network port.
