Using WimPyAmp

WimPyAmp with default Winamp skin

The app pretty much works like you might remember from Winamp (if you're old enough to remember). The "eject" button in the main window lets you choose and load a single track. If you open the Playlist window, you'll find options to load playlist files or add entire directories to the playlist (useful for albums).

Click the "V" button in the main window clutterbar (that's the vertical row of teeny letters on the left) to toggle between visualizer types (spectrum analyzer, waveform, none).

To load a new skin or reload the default skin, either choose the Settings menu, or click "O" in the main window clutter bar.

WimPyAmp also has support for Album Art. Click "I" in the main window clutter bar, and an Album Art window will appear. It should show art from either the current track's metadata or an image in the same directory like folder.jpg. If there isn't any art available, you'll see a placeholder image.
