How does this apply to MUSHclient if it is for a car stereo?

Either way, the actual code to pull a song title from the current song played is this
winamp.CurrentSongLength


I would recommend looking here if this is the right COM object you have:

Step 1 - find a more appropriate forum (e.g. the winamp forum)
Step 2 - ask the question there. :-)

Seriously though, why are you asking MUSHclient people about a Winamp question for a car stereo?

Maybe 'CurrentSongLength' should be 'CurrentSongTitle'.

Blah, yes, I pasted the wrong thing. The one I posted shouldn't have given that error, though. I fully agree about the winamp forum though

A friend and I made a really indepth Winamp Control script. Here's a link to it's posting, of which you'll be required to login to view but here's some login credentials for you guys :)

Please don't abuse this login, or I'll suspend the account and everyone'll have to sign up for a unique account, which is dumb.

Edit: IMPORTANT: If you try to goto that link and login, it'll say the topic no longer exists. Just repaste the URL after logging in and you can view the topic.

Edit: Now that I've read this topic and not just glanced over it, I realized this has nothing to do with Mushclient. My script, however, is a full plugin for full control over mushclient and a lot of cool controls to use mush in a telnet environment.

We have another thread about winamp and mushclient, might be pertinant to repeat that last post there. Just search for winamp, I'm sure you'll find it.
