Now playing v2.1
    Concept: Lareamond
    Programming: DJMystic & Lareamond
    Original VB version (v1.x): Lareamond
    C++ remake (v2.x): DJMystic
-----------------------------------------
What is it?
-----------------------------------------
This plugin is for control of Winamp 2, and
sending info about your current playing song
to your contacts.
WARNING: all commands & tags are marked with something like [23M] or [   ]
         This are compatibility signs, 2 stands for winamp 2, 3 = winamp 3, m = music match jukebox
         So [2 M] would mean compatible with WA2 and MMJB
-----------------------------------------
How to use it?
-----------------------------------------
First the control commands, Simple as hell:
[23M] /xnpplay        - Hit play button
[23M] /xnpstop        - Hit stop button
[23M] /xnppause        - Hit pause button
[23M] /xnpnext        - Hit next button
[23M] /xnpprev        - hit previous button
[23M] /xnpopenfile    - Pop-up open file dialog
[23 ] /xnpopenurl    - Pop-up open URL dialog (http://www.di.fm for some good shoutcast radio's!)
[23M] /xnpad        - Advertise for the plugin
-----------------------------------------
Now the more difficult part: sending song info to your contacts!
-----------------------------------------
[2??] /xnpsendsong        - This is probably the easiest, send the current playing file to your buddy
[2??] /xnpsong [text]        - Sends song info to your contact, [text] is a text containing control tags, if [text] is empty, the default is used
[2??] /xnpnick [nick]        - Same as /xwasong, but puts it in your nickname (Friendly Name)
[2??] /xnpsetsong [text]    - Set the default for /xwasong
[2??] /xnpsetnick [nick]    - Set the default for /xwanick
[23M] /xnpoldnick            - Restores your previous nickname
Control tags:
In the commands /xwasong & /xwanick and such, you can use control characters which will be replaced by song info:
[23M] %artist        - Artist of current song
[23M] %title        - Title of current song
[23M] %songname        - Artist & Title combined
[2  ] %length        - Length (in minutes) of song
[2  ] %elapsed        - Minutes elapsed of song
[2  ] %kbit            - KBPS quality of song
[2  ] %khz            - kHz quality of song
-----------------------------------------
an example of a good info text:
-----------------------------------------
(Currently playing) %artist - %title <%elapsed/%length> <%khzkHz %kbitkbps>
-----------------------------------------
Have fun! Lareamond & DJMystic
