Winamp plug-ins

A collection of plug-ins I wrote for the Winamp media player 2.x and 5.x between 2000 and today. As a matter of fact, writing Winamp plug-ins has been the vector of my Windows API apprenticeship!

BurningCD

Released in 2000, BurningCD was the first and only plug-in to give Winamp burning capabilities. Four years elapsed before Nullsoft/AOL uses my idea and make audio CDs creation possible within their media player.

gUSB

gUSB is a smart plug-in which adds shell devices to the new Winamp media library. Originally designed for removable devices such as portable players, it also supports fixed and network drives!

Cover Art

This plug-in for Winamp 2.9x and Winamp 5.xx allows to display cover arts of playing songs in its own window. Its nicely integrated with Winamp, supports the most popular image formats and is available for free!

FLAC Bundle

A bundle to add full support to Winamp 5 of the popular lossless audio format FLAC. This is a combonation of an exclusive FLAC encoder for the CD ripping engine, and a modified version of the official FLAC input plug-in with full media library support.

Ogg-Vorbis Encoder

Yet another encoder to rip your CDs, although into the free Ogg-Vorbis format this time, using Winamp 5. Ogg-Vorbis is a totally free new codec, kind of "new generation mp3". Smaller files, better restitution, available everywhere, no patent/fee/royalty and many, many more advantages which make Ogg-Vorbis the best lossy codec today.

WMA Standard Encoder

Encoder targetting the Microsoft Windows Media audio format (WMA). This is far to be the greatest codec available around, but can be useful with some portable devices. Don’t setup your PC jukebox in Wma, go Mp3 or Ogg-Vorbis instead. If you’re still interrested with the Wma encoder, come in!

ml_Icons

Don’t you find the Winamp library a little tarnished? I mean, when compared to the competition, wouldn’t it be great if the library could get some extra colours? That’s exactly what this plug-in aims to : cheering up the library by introducing some XP styled icons to the user interface!

Stay tuned!
