Thankyou very much for such a cool guide.


Is it possible to allow the client/listener to choose his song.

We have such server in our college. we can choose from various categorized playlists.

actually yes.
there is something called a Song Requester Plugin which displays the whole current playlist of winamp on a webserver ( created by plugin itself ) and users can enqueue songs of their choice. If nobody's enqueuing songs, then the songs will carry on playing from playlist just like normal.

( if you want a more comprehensive system, I made a set of php scripts for that purpose too, but its too complicated, you will need a php enabled http server and "Do something" & "httpq" plugins for winamp. only advantage is that it looks prettier and has better shuffle than winamp's shuffle. )

Hey, I am already running a http server on my system with php and mysql installed. I do have some knowledge about php.

It will be great if you gave me those scripts

awesome .. i though my scripts are useles .. but i think somebody may find it useful ..
gimme your email id .. i'll mail it you.

in that time .. get Do Something (http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dosomething/) plugin and httpq v3.0 (http://httpq.sourceforge.net/) plugin.

I'll try to explain what I do with my php scripts :
httpq plugin allows you to take total control of winamp through a webserver it creates. you can access it thourgh php or asp or javascript .. anything. But there is no "jump to file" type of command. So I made a different kind of system .. in which you are given an option to play any file from a saved playlist. (no need of mysql etc). You can enqueue songs you like and the total list of enqueued songs are visible to everyone.
