New version of Foxamp released
Filed under: — orudge @ 20/12/2005 6:08 pm
I have released a new version of Foxamp, the Firefox extension that lets you control Winamp from your browser. I have taken this over from sweetfish, and updated it to make it compatible with Firefox 1.5. I also intend to update it further in the future. Check it out, and please let me know if you have any comments or problems.
what is this crazy stuff you speak of? :p

This is the nerdy part of my site… you might notice it was posted under “Site News”. A while ago I integrated my main site news into the blog, therefore, now and then you get “crazy stuff” like that. 😉

What a useless plugin 🙁
I don’t understand people that have winamp controls everywhere. Global hotkeys, in firefox, in their tray-/start- bar…
I just have winamp running Always On Top, 30% Opacity unless it has focus, and that’s all I need.
But maybe I’m just not normal.

I think you’re just not normal. 😉 I don’t want a Winamp window on top of everything I do (I run most apps maximised, by the way), I’d much rather have a nice little row of buttons in my status bar or taskbar. The “2327. Sigur Rós – Olsen Olsen” in the status bar is also rather handy for the “Whatcha listening 2 @ da moment” topic. 😉

Well, my winamp is basically the same, but it applies to all windows :p

It looks better on my laptop, with a screenwidth of 1680 pixels, because that allows for winamp to be there yet it doesn’t make the title bar of maximized windows unreadable.
Then again as I said, it’s usually largely transparent so you can still read what it says in the title bar most of the time.
Oh well, as the Dutch saying goes “Over smaak valt niet te twisten”, which means as much as “you can’t argue about taste”.

Ah, my Winamp uses the default (classic) skin, with the main bit, EQ, and 8 lines of playlist showing. A bit impractical to have on the screen all the time. 😉
What screen resolution are you running, by the way?

Lazy people. I run MadiaMonkey maximised, and having to change focus to that window dosen’t exactly kill me, eventhough changing focus takes like 4-5 secouns on this ancient PC (my brothers). Lazy people indeed.
Oh, and back when i was using winamp, i had it on classical style, allways on top, and minimised so it covers allmost all of the top bar. You never need to read what it sais anyways, and if you don’t stretch the playlist window more then needed it dosen’t cover the _㪭X buttons… All good, that too. But winamp ain’t good.

What’s not good about Winamp? My installation of Winamp can play literally everything I throw at it, I reckon. Even such delightful formats as RealAudio. 😉

Oh yes but i’ve yet to find something my MediaMonkey can’t play aswell, seeing as it can use – and actively use – winamp plugins. The misslist in winamp is huge. I want a proper media library. Winamps has one, but it dosen’t do all the stuff i want it to. No automatic playlists, no browsing the library by hd position, no “auto-tag from amazon”, no “auto-organise files” (auto-renames (and if i want it to, also moves) files to more proper filenames, using any algorithm you want it to. I do simply “./ – “, but you can have it do something like “./// – ” wich is great for sort-a-holics. Also, editing id3 tags ain’t nairly as dynamic as i want it, you have to go into properties for the file. Mecdia Monkey ain’t got it dynamic enough nether, that you kinda have to use WMP for to do fast :/ But ether way… Winamp ain’t for me, i require more from my madia player. Allthough, i allways have it installed to play video files and to stream. But i start it like once a week.
