    Question what about this................

    Do any of you guys know of an existing winamp plug-in or program that would be able to output id3 info to an LED display? I was just thinking in the car today how cool it would be to have a scrolling red LED display suction-cupped to the back window showing current song info. Anyways, what do you guys think?

    I thought about that, but you could just program it to say "Steal everything in this car!" and it'd be about the same

    Hahahah, <faling out of chair, under desk...> Oh man ...your right.

    I had thought about that, not to display that kind of info though, I was thinking of using it to advertise services, like " DvD, tv, thousands of songs, Do you want one in your car , call xxx-xxx-xxx"

    It should be pretty easy to do though, just a couple of small changes to an LCD driver, the LED displays use serial (RS-232) and so do some LCD's / VFD's so its dooable.

    I thought the same thing, but around where I live I don't think I'd have to much trouble. Besides, if they took it, they wouldn't be able to figure it out, and i've got a spare. I was also thinking of the advertisement thing. I need some cash bad. I figured the id3 info combined with an ad everynow and then would get their attention.

    If I had a sign like that, I'd probably program it to read

    "Stop tailing me, *******!"
    "Hey! Pull your finger out of your nose."
    "Hang up and drive!"
