built 614 days ago
In more recent versions of Winamp, support has been added to allows users to share their media library to their gaming consoles on the same network through Winamp Remote.

What's more, you can even generate a HTTP POST request with the details of the present playlist to feed the data to some Perl/PHP script on your remote server. What's Playing v1.4 has the ability to output numerous details of the songs, including:
