I have created an "Addon" for use with MUSHclient, and Winamp.
It is a program scripted in AutoIt, that will retrieve the Song Title from Winamp, and Send it to the Chosen OPEN World within MUSHclient. It allows altering the Prepended Command, as well as the Appended Command... I.E. PREPEND SONG-TITLE APPEND

This is all sent directly to the input box of the chosen world (after saving the already inputted characters), then sent to the Server (and the previously entered text is restored immediately)

This will work on ALL MUDS, MUSHES, etc. Because you set the command to send prior to the Song Artist/Title.

It reads in EXACTLY what Winamp sees, so if the song is only showing the title of the song and not the artist, then that is all that will be sent. Whatever you have the MP3 tags reporting to Winamp, is whatever will be sent.

I created this because one of my friends on Aardwolf runs an internet radio station, and reports the currently playing song to ftalk (Friend Talk for those unfamiliar with Aardwolf)

It saves the settings of the Prepend and Append as well as the Toggle State of the 'Auto Report' Tray Menuitem within the registry upon Exiting using the tray Exit item.

Also Allows Alteration of the Prepend and Append messages while using the program, and not ONLY at Startup (v1.01 was startup only)...

Also Presents a list of ALL OPEN Worlds to select what to send to.

I hope that you ALL can appreciate this, cause I have seen quite a few posts about Winamp on these forums.

Laterzzz,

Will this work if you have Jlo Radio playing through Winamp? I never looked to see if the song info is displayed over the shoutcast, but I know it can be done easily because I have a firefox extension that displays the current DJ, song, and band on another shoutcast station.

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

I do not know if internet radio station titles will display, BUT it cannot hurt to try, as the WORST thing that can happen is MY program exits with an error. So you don't need to worry about MUSHclient or Winamp crashing along with it.

All I can say is try it and do please post the results :)

Laterzzz,
