(I was able to pull up this location/path by clicking on the icon for the media player on gnometer. User/My Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/Gnometer/Media Player The file you need to locate is WinAmp.LUA. Now on to the more complex problem of getting it display track title. However, that takes care of trading out WinAmp text for MediaMonkey text to make it look more suitable. It won't launch MediaMonkey from the icon yet, so I've got to figure that part out. I changed some of the "WinAmp" text to "MediaMonkey". I just sort of stumbled into the solution though.lol Whether you want a simple MP3 player or a media player that can manage your local collection, Winamp is still a good choice.I found a way to get this accomplished. However, Winamp still have a lot to offer and is able to run smoothly in the background without affecting your system performance. Aside from the lack of improvement for a long time already, there are other music players being actively developed. Winamp is no longer as popular as it used to be. To name a few, you can try MilkDrop2 to enjoy an impressive visualization, EQ Hotkeys to get more control over the equalizer, Winamp Backup Plugin to backup and restore much more than just the settings, TomSteady to deal with playback volumes that sometimes louder or quieter when Winamp is playing a list of songs, and Multiple DSP Stacker to run as many plugins as you want. What Winamp has is already a lot, but if you want more, there are plugins to extend what Winamp can do. Changing the color theme of the Winamp Modern skin to the Bricks Set, for example, makes the skin looks quite different. Clicking on Get More Skins option will open a new tab in your browser which contains a list of search result that you can choose from.Įven if you don’t add new skins, you can still play around with the available color themes. Only four skins, but more can be added manually.

Winamp Classic, Bento, Big Bento, and Winamp Modern skin.

There is also a built-in option to add every file that Winamp plays into the library automatically. Whether the scan takes a long time or not depends on how many media files you have. All of the files will be organized automatically. Winamp scans your folders for files that can be added to its media library. The Winamp Agent, if you turn it on, will stay in the notification area even after you exit Winamp. You can also enable the shell integration so that Winamp options appear in the context menu every time you click on a folder. What follows next is to set the associations for audio files, playlist, video files, Winamp specific files (i.e., WAL, WLZ, WSZ), and to choose whether you want Winamp to launch automatically when you insert an audio CD.

During the setup, Winamp offers you to stick to the current Classic skin or replace it with another.
