Vs.Winamp is an addin for Visual Studio which I created a couple of days ago. Normally you can use the global shortcuts but sometimes when I am working/coding I hardly touch the mouse everything in Visual Studio can be done so effortlessly and insanely fast with just shortcuts it’s simply mind blowing. However, on the days when am multitasking or just don’t feel like, am all lazy and do most things with the mouse.

Now winamp is just a pull down away at the top of my screen, but while building it sometimes takes a couple of seconds to show up… just to shave off those few seconds I made this add-in.

It’s bare bones right now and allows you to Play, Pause, Stop, Play Next Track, Play Previous Track. If I get time and feel like I definitely want to use better icons and add the Volume Control. Those are the first things you can expect in the new version if and when it comes. Till then, use it if any one finds any use for it. So long.

Works and tested with VS 2005 & 2008.

Update: I know it’s not very polished and feature complete yet, but it would be great and encouraging if any one who uses it can drop in a comment about it :)

    Hi Tejas,
    I want to develop a very small plugin for winamp, something like u did but I want it be integrated to the winamp itself. Anyway thats not the priority now, the priority is – How to get started with this thing ? I went to their forums, wiki article but I still can’t even get to compile the winamp itself. Can u please help me get started.

    What I need to know is “how to compile if i make any changes in the source code since there are so many files and folders”
    The post is too old but just hoping if I could get a reply.

    Regards,

    You don’t need to compile Winamp itself to make a plugin work with it.
    Also it sounds like you have downloaded the SDK. It won’t compile as such on it’s own. You need to link it to your code and build your project separately. In case it is not the SDK that you downloaded then it depends on what IDE you are using.
