maybe you can use sendmessage (litestep module) to control xmplay. Youll need to figure out what messages to send ofcourse.

Here http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=8&id=3563&hl=xmplay

Already given that idea. I think it's can be a solution fo those people who make own theme, but could it work with themes that already made?

Also Jace(on UN4SEEN.com forum) say:

Yes, it is already possible to get the currently playing song into a Litestep box =)
Figured it out today, beat myself up for not noticing it earlier.
So, just grab label.dll from somewhere (I have v1.99), and in the conf just write up:

Code:

XmplayLabelText "[windowTitle('XMPLAY-MAIN')]"

Of course, you can change the label's name, but that does the trick. =)
Now I can keep xmplay minimised always!
Just gotta disable the lil' bubble when the song changes..

And, for the circle to be complete, we need some way to send commands to XMPlay to change the song/volume/play/pause/everything from another program..

So as i uderstood, in that way to make xmplay work i'll need to add some changes to themes configs to make xmplay work instead winamp. Or in that way everything what i'll see it's a name of the currently playing song?
