Song Title Pop-Up.. HELP PLEASE!

[ulvirfaust]

I seem to remember that when a song started playing in Winamp a little message box in the lower right portion of my screen would pop up displaying the title of the song. I've searched all the options and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it or maybe it was my imagination and Winamp can't do this in the first place. It's been driving me nuts tho so an answer, one way or the other would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Other skins may have a Config/CFG/Options/OPT button in the main/player window. Notification options may be available via the menubar, if the skin has one.

• Skins Without Notifications

Classic skins and a lot of modern skins do not have a notification pop-up, so if you want a have a notification pop-up with other skins you will need a notification plug-in. Toaster or NxS Balloon Tip are the two most commonly recommended plug-ins. There are also bunch of Notification Style Plug-ins to choose from.
