RndSkin - WinAmp music controls in your system tray

RndSkin is a tiny program that lets you start up WinAmp minimized and then puts the Play, Pause, and Next buttons in your system tray for easy access. Just download the zip file and unzip it into a folder. Double click it to start or create your own shortcut to run it from the Desktop, Quick Launch, or Start Menu. Website - Download - Freeware Quote from the website - RndSkin is a simple, customizable front end for WinAmp supporting versions 2.x and 5.x. It gives you easy access to WinAmp control buttons as play, stop pause and others and can show you the current track every time it changes and when ever you want it. Additionally, you can have WinAmp playing and minimized on startup, and it's skin changed. Application size is only about 11 KB, and it is so trimmed down that even with settings which are in a separate module, it's short help is by far larger then the program itself.
