Winamp General Purpose Plug-ins (Track Title Spool to File)

Winamp Track Title Monitor lets you output formatted data about the currently playing track to a text-file and supports multiple instances of Winamp on the same machine.

Out-of-process (IPC) Winamp control with multiple Winamp instances

At Deviant Audio, we use bespoke tools written in C# to control Winamp playlists. The tools are processes external to Winamp which communicate via IPC (Inter-process Communication) – namely via the SendMessage() Win32 API function.

When controlling Winamp with a 3rd party process, the first thing you must do is locate Winamp’s main window. If you want playlist control, you need the playlist window handle also.
