Getting winamp to display the song in the taskbar.

Ahleckz · 14 May 2010 at 03:22

Does anyone know of any plugins that will make Winamp display the current song information in a scrolling manner in the task bar, or somewhere discreet - maybe a slim popup in the corner than lasts for only a few seconds of the song.

I don't like having to alt tab in and out of winamp to see what song I am listening to if I can't remember it by sound.
I had a look on Winamps plugin site but nothing useful could be found.

Thankyou darlings.

I thought winamp had a 'notifier' which popped up when a song changed? It did last time I had it installed. Maybe check your options and make sure you have it switched on.
