When using Winamp 5.52 (or a version other than Winamp 5.5), there is an error when displaying the title upon start of winamp. This will be fixed and an intermediate version will be released shortly. The problem is to do with identifying the proper version of winamp.

I have delayed the release of the next version. Powerpoint support has already been accomplished but that version has not yet been released. For the latest version, download from the repository.

The next release (which should be the final one) will have documentation, better class organization and will support powerpoint.

I have a tentative release date planned for early march 08.

Control of powerpoint has been implemented. The version containing support for powerpoint will be released shortly.

In the new version, the user will be able to start a presentation, advance to the next slide, go to previous slide, and exit presentation.

Version 2 is a significant upgrade from 1.1.

The layout has also been altered to provide an easier and more intuitive interface for control.

The mute and repeat functionality has been implemented. The repeat option now adds the ability to repeat the track being played. Repeat follows the three-click status found in the modern winamp skin.

Also, there is now a display for the song currently being played. There is also a status of whether playback is paused, stopped or playing. The status of repeat is also available, whether it is off, repeat playlist or repeat track.
