For a while now I’ve been searching the web for a way to output playlist information in Winamp to be accessed via the http protocol.
I ran into SpyAmp almost right away but it had a couple of design flaws that made it more or less useless. For one, the output page couldn’t be fully customized and the default page looked like crap so, back to the drawing board. SpyAmp sadly also lacks the ability to integrate into a page (such as via php). Sure, you COULD pull it off I suppose, but there is no easy way of doing it. On the upside it does provide its own server that can run even if you don’t bother to set up Apache or some other full fledged http server.

There are however a number of logfile output plugins such as What’s Playing (WA3), Do Something (WA2), Now Playing (WA2), AMIP (WA2/3) and CurrentlyHearing (WA2).
I’m currently playing around with “Do Something”. CurrentlyHearing seemed promising but it is designed around uploading files to a ftp directory. Not very useful for running the script locally. I’m working on this …
