great work, no bugs or anything. like the sound of the sending songs

It is great nice work man

1 request, could you make it update you name with the song you are playing every 10 secs so it will auto update and have a On/Off option for it.

That's currently not possible with the API available, but I'm gonna figure something out. Updating every 10 seconds is even worse. Lags the server too

very nice..

i like it

To answer that question, yes I will. I'll do Winamp 3 support after all work on the 2.x version is complete. I'm just adding minor fixes to it, including some more error handling, should be starting the 3.x one by next week.

Read first post for update.
