I thought I came across a feature that allowed one to create a web page that displayed the current track being played in ones winamp player. Did I dream this or does someone know if there is a way to do it? For example, I want to display something like:
Dayve is currently listening to: Nine Inch Nails - La Mer
the red section being read from the winamp window which is retrieved from the ID2/ID3 tag.

| I have seen people on other forums that have their currently playing song in their signature, so I'm pretty sure it's possible. |

Hmm
I have this for winamp 3 - not sure how helpful it will be...
int YourClass::corecb_onTitleChange
{
char Title[100];
CoreHandle core;
playstring = core.getCurrent();
api->metadb_getMetaData(playstring, MT_TITLE, Title, sizeof(cursong.Title), MDT_STRINGZ);
/* OR
api->metadb_getMetaData(playstring, MT_NAME, Title, sizeof(cursong.Title), MDT_STRINGZ);
*/
}

I think I'll be using this:
http://www.deskmod.com/?state=view&skin_id=14591
it allows you to create a text file with the track info which I will read with an XML parser or FSO object and then display graphically using VB.NET like we did with the Project Dolphin scripts. |

the file layout for this component looks like this:
<Winamp version>
<Artist>
<Album>
<Title>
<Genre>
<Year>
<Comment>
<Track Number>
<Length of track (seconds)>
<Position of file in playlist>
<Number of files in playlist>
<playstring (path to file)>
<UNIX timestamp of playing start>
<Component Version String>
problem being that not all mp3's have their ID2/ID3 tags set, so I opted to use the path... for now that is. |

| yeah, no problem, no real magic, just reading a text file. you'll need to be running your own web server with the .net framework installed for this one because the file is written to YOUR computer. |

this one should accomodate for mp3's with no ID2/ID3 tags. by default it will show artist, album, track name. if that does not exist it will show the location of the file with file name

Just for reference, I use www.audio-tracker.com , which does the same thing, but they serve the images. It's all free, so far, and there are plug-ins for both Winamp 2 and 3.
Looks like this:  www.audio-tracker.com/song.php/BigBlue" border="0"> |

I knew someone showed that in the past but I couldn't remember who. Now I'm too late to say that it was you   |
