Docking Winamp in Taskbar

[Scott Tiger]

I'm actually interested in being able to dock any of the popular players into the taskbar. I would like to be able to see the the players controls and don't want to use a third program to do so. I know I've seen screenshots of what I'm talking about but can't find them anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Surely someone knows how to do this..

hrm i haent seen anything like that, only with media player 9 and xp

could you post a screen shot i would be interested in seeing this

[Scott Tiger]

Hmm.. well I have XP but I haven't upgraded to WMP 9 yet. I'll upgrade right now and see if I can do that with it. Thanks for the tip GZ.

Unfortunately I can't find a screenshot of what I'm trying to do. I swore Bob_The_Great posted a shot once of what I'm talking about it's not in his gallery anymore..

[Scott Tiger]

Thanks GZ - WMP9 does exactly what I wanted it to do. The only problem is when I choose the next song it picks one randomly from my playlist rather than advancing to the next (or previous) song. I'm sure it's a setting but I can't find it anywhere..

Also, is there an easy way to do this with Winamp 5? Just curious.

I've attached a screenshot of what I've talking about.


EDIT: BAH! Shuffle must be enabled by default.

Oh well, that's fixed..

cool

i never seen it with winamp 5, i know there is a skin that will dock in the corner of the screen

I dunno about docking, but I like to just leave my Winamp in my sys tray. It's handy and saves up room on the task bar.

That's what I've done for the past 3+ years but know I wanna be able to manually advance through my playlist.

get a keyboard with multimedia controls. my thermaltake kb does this

Sorry but I'm married to my MS natural kb. I'm sure they make those with multimedia controls but I'm waaaay to cheap to pay what they want for them.
