This is a winamp monitor written for tribes, but written with flexibility to be used with several games. The program is a simple .exe that runs in the background and retrieves what winamp is playing. With a little bit of configuring you can get say this information into a game you are playing. This program will also let you control winamp in game if the game you are using supports the ability to output files (like tribes 1, this is covered int he readme)

Download »
Winamp Tribes Monitor ( 1.2 MB install application)

Note : Please do not download this and rehost it on your website, this project has a limited number of versions, and we do not want multiple versions floating around.


Instructions for how to configure it can be found by clicking help once you have run the program. I did the testing and rewrote the help file to include other games. These edits were done with his permission, in actuality he recoded his original app for me and a few others, However I am confident there are quite a few other people who may find it useful.
