Winamp Plugin

posted on july 8, 2002, tag: plugin

I've been working non-stop on my Winamp plugin for the past 4 days. About 14 hours a day. It's crazy. I'm damn near close to releasing it to some people for testing, and then it will be available for download here.

It's a very simple concept: it outputs the current song's title (ie: Artist - Title) to a file and then uploads that file to the server of your choice. From that point you use your programming language of choice (PHP, ASP and CFML will have sample files for now), or use an include (shtml) to display the song currently playing. If Winamp is off, it will display "Nothing." Simple. But harder than you think to develop.

Anyway, as soon as I'm ready, I'll start a short beta-testing period. Want to be involved? Email me your info.
