Calling Winamp from console?

Winnie · 11th January 2001, 15:04

Hi everybody,

I'd like to control Winamp programatically. What are the options for calling Winamp in the console?

I've tried to get a list with winamp -?, -help, /?, and so forth but that just opens winamp trying to play a file with that name.

Best regards,
Winnie

Doh! Sorry, I finally found the answer (maybe) by looking in the archives - could really use a search function!

Somebody pointed to this url: http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp2x/dev/sdk/api.jhtml.

There aren't many options, however.

Search through the forms for command line, there are links to programs and plug-ins that allow command line calls to WinAMP
