Load file or playlist with API

rlevis · 21st March 2002, 23:08

I'm the author of an external program which I want to control Winamp with.

I would like to use the API to load a file or playlist but I can't see any specific WM_USER message to do it. I see "129 Adds the specified file to the Winamp bookmark list" but I presume a bookmark is not a playlist.

Thanks,
Ross Levis

C:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe C:\music\playlist.pls

or something like that, no api required

I'm currently using the /ADD enqueue command but it's much slower than using the API so I thought I would ask.

I know, but I think the slowness comes from winamp, an api would probably be just as slow, but I dont know that for a fact

HI,

I just did this too, and i just add one song to winamp at a time and keep the play list in my app, not winamp. When it stops playing, it grabs the next song from the list and gives it to winamp. I jsut posted the source if you want to look at it. Post is title ' i wrote a winamp front end with cd covers'

CHeers,
