This skin REQUIRES that you have VLC installed on your system, and that the libcad.dll VLC plugin be installed. Instructions on where to get all that you need and how to install and configure things is included in the skin folder in HowTo.txt. Please read it after running the .rmskin so you can get things set up before you use the skin.
The skin will play any of 8 radio stations, which you can change to any of the thousands available on ShoutCast, and will allow you to play, pause, stop, control the volume and exit without ever needing to actually see or deal with the VLC application. The skin will do all that for you.
REALLY important note: Do not "close" the skin without pressing the "Stop" button or using the "X" to exit. If you close the skin while a station is playing, it will just keep right on doing so. Forever... You will need to use Task Manager to kill the invisible VLC.exe instance, or load the skin again and press "Stop".

As with all my skins, you are welcome to take what I have done and expand or improve it for your own needs as you see fit!
=============================
Edit: Now supports display of the Artist - Title of the currently playing song. This requires the latest libcad.dll to be installed in your VideoLan\VLC\Plugins folder. Get the dll HERE. The currently playing station is now highlighted instead of displaying in the viewport at the top.
