AjaxAmp - nice plugin for Winamp to control WA from another machine

Post by SeedOfChaos »

Just found this nifty little solution for my problem - wanting to control the WinAmp on my machine that's connected to the stereo on another networked PC...

This plugin runs a little webserver on your machine to do just that. It works with almost any device that has a HTML browser built in, like PDA's, playstations, xboxes, and of course laptops.

If you have just one decent media PC on a decent stereo but multiple devices that you wish to start the playback from, this plugin is awesome.

It does not import WinAmp's media library but does build it's own. But if you have all music on a single drive or inside a single folders (with subfolders, of course), that's not a big issue at all - you just allow the one share and index it within seconds, done.
