Advanced WinAmp Hooking

[wushi]

After hooking into the WinAmp main window procedure I'm a bit dissapointed with the messages I catch. As far as I can see there are no messages sent to the main window when you -for example- start playing another song through the playlist.

So here is what I want... I want to be able to act on every change that is made in the playback of songs through any source: playing, pausing, skipping parts, etc... To get the context straight: I am trying to write a plugin that tracks your music listening behaviour to "learn" your tast in music so it can make playlist suggestions from simple instructions as: I'm in the mood for something like the last song but hated the one before it...

Please suggest me what I can do best:
* check playback parameters every _somuch_ time
* check playback parameters on every IPC_ISPLAYING or IPC_GETOUTPUTTIME
* hook into all WinAmp windows and catch their messages
* THE VERY SIMPLE & ELEGANT SOLUTION (the one I'm hoping for ;-))

Thanks!

heh, funny

THE VERY SIMPLE & ELEGANT SOLUTION (the one I'm hoping for ;-))

that'll be the day.. anyway, do all the above of what you listed, hook into everything, check every status, keep track of lengths on everything, etc, etc it's the only way, you'll simply have to do it yourself
