Winamp skins on amiga amp?

[Gav]

Hi
Most classic winamp skins im downloading not working?Is it because they are bmp files for the buttons? i have the bmp datattype installed..
Cheers.
*Edit* actually i downloaded a skin of the amiga amp home page and the files are iff and they dont work for me either.this is weird as i never had problems in the past but its the pictures couldnt be loaded..

Maybe your confusing AmigaAMP with AMPlifier?   make sure you check that first.

they are both WinAMP clones for the Amiga but function slightly differently.

I have somewhere around 20-30 WinAmp skins which all work in AmigasAMP. I vaguely remember having one or two that froze things up. What versionj of AmigaAMP are you running? (I'm running 2.15TEST1)  Which OS version? (I'm running OS4 pre-3)

What I have working here (apart from having a newer Amiga and newer version of AmigaAMP also used to work on my 4000 under OS 3.9)

Yes it is amiga ampop which i downloaded from the net and the most recent version.Yeah i know in the past ive never had any problems with skins until i reinstalled my amiga and now i cant use any skins.Oh and i am running this on os3.9 btw...

does the BMP skins, loads in Multiview?

If they doesn't, you have a problem with you DT installation (i.e wrong descriptors in Devs:Datatypes/ and/or double DT installed as i.e bmp.datatype and WarpBMP.datatype)

Theres an exception for some BMP skins.

For some reason, they are in a BMP format not supported by our DT. Its enough to load in a GFX program and save again in BMP.

Well i cant load any skin inc iff format aswell which is how i know there is a problem somewhere as i downloaded an older version of amiga amp and im getting the same problem.
