My First WinAmp Plugin
Until now, I haven’t found a single Winamp-Plugin that I would like to install. But my young apprentice pointed me to NxS Balloon Tip.
This plugin of the general purpose category displays a balloon style tooltip near the system tray when it discovers a track change in Winamp. You can change the format of the text inside the balloon tooltip and you can assign a custom hotkey (key combination) that will show the balloon as well as copy the text to the clipboard.
The output will look something like this:Melissa Etheridge - Bring Me Some Water Album: Greatest Hits - The Road Less Traveled Länge: 03:54 Playing:4 of 17 File: D:\Users\m3\Music\Melissa Etheridge\Greatest Hits - The Road Less Traveled\04-Bring Me Some Water.mp3 44 kHz, 128 kbps, kein VBR, stereo
To get this I set:
Title formatting:Album: %album%\r\nLänge: %length%\r\nPlaying:%plpos% of %pllen%\r\nFile: %filename%\r\n%srate% kHz, %bitrate% kbps, $ifgreater(%vbr%,0, VBR,kein VBR), %channels%Balloon Title:
$caps2(%artist%) - $caps2(%title%)Copy to clipboard title:
%artist% - %title%\r\nAlbum: %album%\r\nLänge: %length%\r\nPlaying:%plpos% of %pllen%\r\nFile: %filename%\r\n%srate% kHz, %bitrate% kbps, $ifgreater(%vbr%,0, VBR,kein VBR), %channels%
BTW – there is a bug in the current readme: The Playlist length is not „%pllength%” but „%pllen%”.
And if you use Winamp and NxS Balloon Tip with Windows Vista, do not forget to change the access rights to the plugin-directory, so that the current user can write to the „plugin.ini”. Otherwise your changes will be lost once you restart WinAmp.

Weißt du es, dass dein Code über den Rand der Blackbox hinaus geht?
