DrO's Winamp 2.x and 5.x Plugins and Extras

The Plugins Releases Plugin Pack Current News Other Stuff Contact/Donate


Here i hope you will be able to find a brief summary and maybe a bit of extra information about the Winamp plugins i've made (and a few of the ones that are in the works/at varying development stages).


Jump to File Extra

Expands the existing Jump to File feature to allow for enqueuing of tracks without modifying the current playlist or to move the track after the currently playing song (with some control over this).

As well it allows you to enqueue files directly in the playlist and shows queue information (a bit like Winamp3 did). Includes a load of other features such as queue randomiser, removing of duplicate playlist entries (Easter Egg!), and many many more

Skins in Submenu

A simple yet efficient way for you to deal with your Classic and Modern skins. With this skins are sorted into submenus in the skin's menu making it easier to find them. As well you have flexibility over how the submenus are created and viewed for your needs.


Time Restore & Autoplay

My first and still one of my best plugins i think. This essentially restores Winamp back to the last track it was playing when it was closed for the next time you open in (assuming the playlist in Winamp hasn't changed).

It also gives you the ability to start Winamp as your PC boots up and you can fine tune how the plugin works!


Jump to Track Extra

Simple yet effective, this allows you to control and see what track you are going to jump to when typing in the track number for this built in Winamp feature.


Playlist File Remover

The name says it all, this removes files from your playlist and the recent builds allow you to physically move/delete the files as well for those of you with nerves of steel for doing such things :o)

Highly configurable and reaching 2.0 in a build near you soon with more control options available!


Playlist Loader

This is a sly little one for what it does. With this installed you have access to the loading in of B4S (Winamp 3); ASX, WSX, WVX, WAX and WPL (Windows Media Player) playlists.

This is still an early version and doesn't have full compatibility just yet and it does not fully mimick Winamp's native M3U and PLS handling but it's still useable via the Winamp add / open file/playlist dialogs. Sweet and simple yet gives you one less reason to use WMP :o)


Playlist Separator

A sly one this is since it allows you to add a separator:// entry into the playlist and depending on how it's been configured it'll show information about the next album after it.

There's also the option for the plugin to automagically scan your playlist and will then insert a separator between each different folder/album in the playlist making it easier to see them or to find when you use the Jump to File dialog to search the playlist.


in_zip

It's an archive reader but not as we know it... since it's designed from the start to work with multiiple file archives.

Still in early development this plugin supports and has basic rar file support to it.

With some tuned features for karaoke archives and improved compatibility, configuration and general features in newer builds, this could be a great way to deal with music archives.


Next on Stop

This plugin advances the current playlist position to the next song in the playlist when Winamp is stopped.

Useful when you run with manual advance on or when you purposefully stop Winamp and don't want to listen to that track again.


Single Click 'n' Play

The plugin's name sort of says it all. With this you can just click on a playlist entry and it will begin to play it.

There's also the ability to make certain Winamp actions happen instead of Winamp playing as is detailed with the plugin.


Skinned Preferences

Not one for the faint-hearted! This initially started to skin the Winamp preferences in a similar manner to the current Winamp skin but was later expanded to incorporate as many windows related to the currently running instance of Winamp.

Still in basic development, each public build has improved stability and the way in which the controls and windows are skinned.

Maybe this will near enough replicate the way Winamp3 used to skin things...


Find File on Disk

Hit Ctrl+F or use the menu entry to open an Explorer window showing where the file(s) can be found. Not much else, it's the quick and simple!


Close After Current

The name says it all. When enabled this will close Winamp and if need be close/restart/etc you system depending on how you've configured the plugin. With global hotkeys and menu options, it's easy to configure and access this as needed.


One Click Show & Hide

Jump to Track

Jump to Time Extra

Auto Video Fullscreen

OS Pos Restorer

nView Fixer

Small plugin to fix some issues (such as keyboard shortcuts not working) when certain settings with nView are enabled.


Mute Hotkey

Adds a 'mute' option to Winamp's global hotkeys options for 5.x


Play Random Song Hotkey

Adds a 'play random song' option to Winamp's global hotkeys options for 5.x


Tray Tooltip

This adds to the Winamp tray icon the ability to see the the current playback position when the tooltip is shown with potential options to allow what can be seen to be configured (once the 64 character limit is worked around if it can be done :o) )


Alt Close

This makes ctrl+close when you click on the close button or from the menus to cause Winamp to restart. Useful if you've installed or altered a config option and need to quickly restart Winamp with the minimum of fuss!


Repeater

Initially designed to allow for the customisation of the fastward and rewind actions in Winamp. This is being further developed to allow 'click+go' fastward/rewind and with potential other features planned depending on what i think needs to go in.


Save File As

Not as sophisticated as some of the other plugins out there but this adds a simple menu item for the selected items in the Winamp playlist and allows you to save that file to another location. Sweet and simple!


Close to Tray

Simple little plugin which will minimise Winamp when you click on the close button (instead of closing it). Includes an 'alt key' override and to come will be a few options on what to do when you click on the close button.

Only issue is that the window titles disappear for modern skins when the close button is first clicked (not sure why that is tho :( )


Anything else i forgot...

There's probably the odd one or two plugins i made for random people that i've forgotten to note and list down, if so then please let me know and i'll update my list of things :o)
