Re: Winamp feature request?

[Tom Van den Panhuyzen <tomvdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

There is a discussion on the WinAmp forum about catching track changes
in a plug-in:
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=b895353494c1f4aa53c2c3a508a6b2d9&threadid=175978

"You are better off just catching 666 in the playlist wndproc, as it
is sent whenever there is a title change, and seems fairly compatible
with all versions."

hth,
Tom
