Preview Songs/Random plugin

Greetings Everyone,

I have a question. It doesn't take very long before I get bored, so I have my moods where I am switching songs every 5 sec to the next song.(I love amvHell for the music) Though this is a bit troublesome while playing a game or watching a film.(and yes I can listen to multiple audio streams without being troubled by it)

So I tried searching for a plugin that previews or plays a random part of a song for say (5 + (rand()%15) ) seconds and then goes to the next song. I must admit that I didn't really know what words to use in my search, so it is probably my fault. that is why I wanted to ask if anyone knows a plugin for Winamp(5) that can give my such functionality?

Yours,

Neo Angelus

(or else I have to try making the plugin myself...does anyone know which prototype(the template examples) to use?)

The closest thing to that would be the Winamp Intro Play (AKA Gen_Intro) plug-in.

[edit]
Addendum...
If you are interested in making you own plug-in check out the Nullsoft Developers' Network (NSDN) and the Developer Center section of the forums.

Thank you, that was almost what I was looking for...sadly enough...I tried writing my own plugin for it just now(as I expected no plugin would be found...) and I have implemented the same functionality...still not what I wanted (as I can't really find my way into the Winamp API...that was why I was looking for a plugin)

But again thank you...I think I am still going to use the plugin you gave me...as my plugin is really bad(its more like an exploit...it Sleeps for (10000+rand()%10000) seconds and then jump to a random position(and as I take a lot of high positions it jumps to the next file...still don't know why))

You are welcome

BTW, did you see the edit to my first reply? I made it just before you made your reply.
