Are you new to using CircuitPython? No worries, there is a full getting started guide here.
Plug the PyPortal into your computer with a known good USB cable (not a tint charge only cable). The PyPortal will appear to your computer as a flash drive named CIRCUITPY. If the drive does not appear you can install CircuitPython on your PyPortal and then return here.
Download the project files with the Download Project Bundle button in the Code section. Unzip the file and copy/paste the code.py and other project files to your CIRCUITPY drive using File Explorer or Finder (depending on your operating system).
Inside the project bundle you'll find all of the files you need on your PyPortal. There is also a PyPortal_Winamp_Skin_Converter directory which does not need to go onto your PyPortal. It's used from your PC if you want to use a custom skin for your Winamp Player.
Drive Structure
After copying the files, your drive should look like the listing below. It can contain other files as well, but must contain these at a minimum:
Code
The project code.py is shown below. The next page walks through how the code works.
