Reply With QuoteI am going to write a custom player anyway. And have the LCD stuff built in.
I just need to find a low resources audio coontrol now..
Also, I will try that VB object, thanks.. Is it fast though?
Instead of controlling WinAmp, you may want to consider controlling Media Player through it's COM object. This is what I have done for my player, and it works very well and is very stable. Not very draining on sysem resources either. And you don't need "plugins", because you are basically custom writing the player to your specifications.
Player: Pentium 166MMX, Amptron 598LMR MB w/onboard Sound, Video, LAN, 10.2 Gig Fujitsu Laptop HD, Arise 865 DC-DC Converter, Lexan Case, Custom Software w/Voice Interface, MS Access Based Playlists
Car: 1986 Mazda RX-7 Turbo (highly modded), 1978 RX-7 Beater (Dead, parting out), 2001 Honda Insight

If it is possable, you think I could get the source of your package? Or maybe we can talk about this? Maybe I can help you out some? My icq# is 36232576 and email is drsparkle@zdnetonebox.comOriginally posted by Dan:
<STRONG>I wrote the LCD CLASS in vb to control a parallel port lcd (it works in win95/98) you can download from http://homepage.oninet.pt/400mjj/download.htm
The mscar system is almost finish.</STRONG>
Contact me.. Either way, cause I might need some help with yous module..
if you want to talk about the serial port one my icq/aim/e-mail is in my profileand you are welcome to contact me on any one of them.
Quite fast. Takes a sec to start up (loading VB runtime and Media Player) but after that it's quick.Originally posted by Dr.Sparkle:

XAudio - http://www.xaudio.com/
DMC2 (built around bass.dll) - http://www.izzyonline.com/DMC2/
Also, here is a nifty class file that deals with ID3 - http://www.vb-world.net/graphics/tip507.html
Enjoy
I have a custom player written in VB but I changed to a vb program that controls winamp because I wanted a spectrum analyzer and couldn't figure out how to get the levels into vb so I could output the correct bar to the LCD, anybody know or have some sample code???

There are also many other sites that have sample code for doing this. Hit your favorite search engine and search for "vb source code spectrum analyzer" (without the quotes) and you will find a plethora of goodies.
I dont think that is possible, unless you write your player software to a plugin.... there are no API calls to monitor the spectrum analyzer.... You can monitor the output of your sound card tho.... this works for win95/98 but not NT/2K...... try planetsourcecode.com they have some sample source if you search a bit.....Originally posted by mp3wrangler:

Project - GAME OVER :(
Check this one out:
http://www.fullspectrum.com/deeth/pr...l#PluginTester
This guy appears to have stopped the project, but he appears (I've not tested his little app) to have figured out a way to use the plugins from VB. If you can find his source or get it from him, you should be able to combine some of the code I showed you above with it and make the player you're coding use pre-built Winamp plugins without having to use Winamp.
