play and pause in shortcut menu

mg · 9th May 2000, 02:53

This is almost to petty to suggest, but I might as well. When playing a CD, the things I'm most likely to do are press pause and play. In the shortcut menu from the tray icon, I have to go to playback and then play/pause to do this. I know it's minor, but it would be nice if play and pause were in the top level of that menu.
Thanks,
Maxine

There's a plugin that comes with Winamp that puts all play controls (or some of them) in you System Tray. It's listed under "General Purpose" in the Plugins Menu. Click "configure", and there you go.

There are no plug-ins in my "General Purpose" plug-in menu. How can that be? Does this one have to be downloaded separately? What's the name of the plug-in you're referring to.

Thanks!

Ok here are some plugins...

Modified Tray Control
WinAmp Bar (not try control, but it adds the buttons to the title bar of any application)
The Original Winamp Tray

I think that the source to the tray control is in the General Plugin SDK.

Hope that helps.
