Excellent idea! Can you post the relevant commands or a patch file?
If I get some more time, I'd like to take that even further and do something like
DJIK's Jump 2 File Plugin. I really miss the "j" function of winamp and would love to have an easy way to query the entire medialibrary to find and play or enqueue any mp3 using an OSK.

Sorry, this will not work with 2.95, since it does not have the medialibrary (music database) feature that was introduced with Winamp3. What trouble are you having with Winamp5? I may be able to help diagnose or post a patch.
Other future work for those with VB skills:
It's possible to rewrite Road Runner's winamp control module to use the activewinamp plugin exclusively. This should give RR more control over winamp (access to more APIs like medialibrary calls) and make it more responsive (e.g. you could manipulate the playlist in memory instead of the playlist .m3u files on disk). It may break a few skins or plugins that don't use the RR winamp API exclusively, but a VB expert could knock it out in a few hours most likely. It would make querying the library even quicker and may even help those that are having problems with winamp5 out.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about VB or windows programming in general (thanks Georgia Tech
), so I haven't attempted it. I got a couple more weeks to take a stab at it before classes pick back up, but anyone else want to volunteer?
