Is there a Winamp plugin that integrates Audioscrobbler data?

May 11, 2005 1:16 PM

Is there any type of plugin or program that integrates Audioscrobbler data into Winamp? I'm looking for something that functions similarly to amaroK for Linux. If there is no such thing (and I suspect there isn't, I've search thoroughly), why not? Winamp is the most popular music application among Audioscrobbler users; I imagine such a plugin would be wildly popular. I know very little about programming, but this kind of thing doesn't seem terribly complex. What's the deal?

Did you ask about it on the Audioscrobbler forums, where the developers hang out? With a little prodding I'm sure they could be goaded into starting a project like that.

Um... Winamp plugin?

Are you asking for the suggested tracks function of amaroK? Unfortunately the official Winamp plugin doesn't do it, which is too bad. I love amaroK's "append suggested" mode.

OK, here's another AmaroK/Audioscrobbler question. Recently, AmaroK has stopped submitting tracks to Audioscrobbler. I think the problem started when I turned on the firewall. I'm using Suse 9.1. Any ideas?

Response by poster: Yeah, I was referring to the suggested tracks function, as well as the other functions that integrate the data.
