Do u mean the avetunes? Yes,avetunes has the cdcover plugin for itunes, and can have a remote control. U can try Samurize for foobar,it also can give a remote control to Winamp and itunes

If foobar2000 supports com then the up coming Scripter will be able to do remote too.

Foobar doesn't have a COM (scripting) interface - afaik, so it doesn't allow easily access to its information without installing an extra plugin inside Foobar.

Winamp has that problem as well, if I understand correctly. But, there is a person(s) that has made a COM/ActiveX interface plugin for it. I'll look it up...

Here it is:

ActiveWinamp @ http://www.myplugins.info/activewinamp/doku.php

or @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/activewinamp/

I do feel that Winamp deserves support, as it's at least as popular as iTunes, if not more so.

Now, if you'd, or someone'd, be so kind as to write an AveAMP desklet.

i'm sure somebody could write a foobar plugin which would serve as an interface for avedesk and other similar programs.

That's what I said a year ago.

right...but it shouldnt be that hard for a programmer to just change something like an itunes one to a foobar one...i dont know anything about it...just seems like it....but...where can i get that scripter to make one for foobar....is it hard to do that...kuz i have no experience with any type of programing so i would not be able to do that.

Enough said.

Scripter is being worked on and i already linked pcm to the WinAmp COM plugin.

cooooool

#328746

awsome...cant wait till its done!!

#328787

if you just want a desktop remote, like skin, use samurize and the same that controls itunes will control foobar... the itunes play.exe and such can be found w/ the search bar...

maybe with this we could use avetunes with, but I wouldn't expext grabbing the cover from the mp3 or the rating.

even with the winamp api emulator it still wont work since winamp needs the active amp plugin to work with avetunes to begin with.

but those that use winamp

you can control winamp with avetunes using this
