.wsz files are .zip files. You rename the extension once you have created the archive. As far as I know, .wsz stands for Winamp Skin Zip. Likewise, you can open up wsz files by using winzip to view the contents. Many apps do this to compact file size while appear not to use .zip files, Quake III Arena does the same with .pk3 files.
I hope that helped out. ;-)

Like ozi said, a .wsz file is a Winamp Skin Zip file.

To change your skin from .zip to .wsz just right click on the skin.zip, select Rename, and change it from .zip to .wsz. If you end up with a skin named "Skin.wsz.zip", you need to go into Windows Explorer, click on View, then click on the Folder Options, then click on the View tab. Remove the check next to where it says "Hide file
extensions for known file types". Click Ok. Then go back to your skin and right click to rename it to skin.wsz.

I'm so sick of this question that I built this:
ftp://ftp.skinmaster.co.uk/pub/other...sz-install.exe

a tool to convert to wsz.

Enjoy.
