How to get informed by WinAMP ?

F@b · 9th April 2002, 12:16

Hi all,

Is there a simple way to get informed by WinAmp when a playing song has finished ? WinAmp do not send a Callback to plug in ?

I read some posts on this forum and I'm afraid that the old good timer mechanism is the only solution ! That's right ?

Is this feature released in the WinAmp 3 SDK ?

Thanks a lot for your support.

that's how I resolved it just use a Windows Timer.

is it that ppl are scared of a timer? do they think that it will make things incredibly, horribly, terribly slow? I used a low resolution VB timer, 50 milliseconds and it still had no problem, winamp needs it's own amount of time to start a song, so the timer just slides right in to nab the song, it's not in any means a bad solution, especially when I get the feeling it's the only solution

Timers are not only the only way to know when a song starts or stops.
You can also subclass the Playlist Editor and intercept messages send by the main window. And it works fine !
