winamp addon idea

would it be possible to make a addon for winamp? for me i use winamp to play my music and i dont like having to miniize to change the song or to change the play folder and such.

I don't know much about addons or programing so if anyone wants to bring this idea to life i'd love it.

i use titan, so maybe it can have a pop-up window and icon for titan.

example: Click icon; brings up some tabs, i duno play options, directory, sound options, w/e.

Mainly i just wanna be able to stop, resume and start music in winamp so i don't have to go out of WoW to do it.

No sorry you can't do that, Warcraft can't communicate with external applications



Might I suggest you either buy a keyboard with multimedia keys or enable the global hotkeys in winamp and use those.

I thought of a new add on who do i tell?

i think that in the auction house you should be able to type in a player name and all things being actioned by that player would be shown..

hm there are auction add-ons see if there r any like that...

i didn't know about the global hotkey things for winamp. i looked into it on their site and i'm happy :p.

Not happy with Winamp? Or the Winamp website? I have a keyboard with multimedia keys and Winamp works fine when I use it while playing WoW.

If you could elaborate a little more, I'll be happy to try and help.

Oddly enough it's not impossible to create a media player within warcraft. I think the reason there's no big ones out there is that they're quite inflexible though. IE, you need to have all the songs you might want to play within the addons folder before you start wow. It'd also have to be quite simplistic (play, stop, next - no pausing or skipping).

Why not select WINDOW MODE and FULLSCREEN in the video option of WOW and then set your Winamp to ALWAYS ON TOP mode. It really works :)

Set a keybinding to forward songs on your plylist or get a media keyboard :=)

There is (or was) an addon that did this sort of thing. I believe it was called Soundtrack. Let's see if I can find the link...

Ah, here we go. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2342/

Note that you need to have your music in a particular folder within the WoW directory, and that it is impossible to seek through an individual song.

if I recall correctly thats not possible. I don't believe there is a way using the api to search by seller.

Well it is technically possible, but would take forever since you'd have to scan the auctionhouse.
