Hi,

First off, I've experimented with controlling winamp from an external console program I've coded using VC++. However, due to the FindWindow() function, it only works after winamp has been launched. I've not tried coding plugins because I don't think that I need to use them in my application.


So here are my questions:
1) Is it possible to get winamp functionalities for my external application without having to install winamp or launch winamp?


2)If so, which .dll, .lib, or .h files do I need to include in my project?


My application is in C++. Thanks for taking your time to read and answer this.

nope, to use winamp and it's features you need to have winamp running and your issue with FindWindow() is the same that all other external apps have when wanting to control winamp.
