Winamp Plug-in Details

Author's Comment:

A plugin to record current track information into an output file based on a template
Gen_Whatsplaying.dll is a general purpose plugin that is designed to create a file containing information about the currently playing Winamp track based upon a template file. This is most useful in situations where Winamp is running on a server and the player screen is inaccessible. This release works with the Microsoft Speech API v5.0+ to allow a user configurable message, such as the track and album name, to be spoken before each track is played.Gen_Whatsplaying.pdf, that has been improved since v2.0, documents the configuration options, supported tags and features. Several bug fixes since v2.1. The source code is available (please see Gen_Whatsplaying.pdf for download location).

Output current song playing info to a txt file
Outputs current song info to a txt file based on a template file and seemed to work well in the tests done.Make sure to read the documentation that comes with this so you know how to use it.

Random Review:

Awesome plugin
There is no other one like this and it does exactly what I wanted. Because I use C# I can't access some of the function of Winamp directly, but this plugin allows me to access the attributes of the currently playing song through a created text file and use the values through C# from there. Right on! When I wanted to know when the song had changed in Winamp, I just created a thread that just loops to find out when the modification date of the text file has changed. Compatible with Winamp 5. Right on man, thanks for this!
