Post subject:  Analyzers for Winamp 2 / 3

I just had a look at the winamp 2 and 3 SDK's and think that I got the general idea how I could implement support for the visualization and other data (by writing a plugin / component for them).

Which one would you like to see supported ?

I think WinAmp3. Most people will update to v3 soon enough. And people are making more and more plugins for v3.

So my vote goes to 3. :)

I don't like winamp3, I think it responds much slower etc
however Marty could be right, probably sooner or later everyone will use winamp3...
I think there's a plugin for winamp3 to support winamp2 plugins, heard that somewhere.
I guess if I were you I'd program it for winamp3 although I prefer 2 ;)

winamp 3 is the way to go, as winamp 2 will be dead soon enough ...

Today I just couldn't resist the temptation to try how the winamp3 <-> external program interaction would work. :)

Getting the winamp component and external program share some data was much easier than I thought. Much harder part is trying to figure out the Wasabi SDK but I'm slowly getting familiar with it. :)

What I have now done is a component that shares some data from the winamp and a small app that shows the VU meters for left and right channel.

I don't think the winamp2 plugin should be much harder to make.

The Winamp2 Plugin is also very easy.

But the problem ist the speed.

I had a analyzer in my software an the cpu utilization was relativly high if u want a fast analyzer.

If u want, i have a winamp2-plugin that shares all the data u need.

That's true. I'm aware of the possible speed problems but the user can always make the choice. :)

Also the good thing about the component is that using it it's possible to retrieve the song info.

Sure, I'd like to see your plugin. Always helps if I don't have to do it myself. ;)
