What's the best way to get litestep to get the Artist - SongTitle from Winamp and display it?

Just as simple as that, I don't need to control winamp from litestep since I have Dell laptop button thingy.

Just use xlabel. Go to the Text Escape Sequences section (or the xStatsClass section for 4.x).

Foobar2K:
You MUST download a component DLL (-> Homepage) named "foowinampspam.dll" and copy it to your ../Foobar2000/components/ folder. Done! All [winamp...] Escape Sequences work now also for Foobar v0.7+!

I seem to be retarded and failed to find "foowinampspam.dll" does that mean i have to find and install foobar?

foo_winamp_spam is what you want to search for.

ok thanks, i got the .9 beta version.

but I can't seem to get it to work. Do I put the file in

C:\LiteStep\Foobar2000\components\
or
C:\Program Files\Foobar2000\components\

because neither of them worked. with underscores and without underscores. I even put the modules in LiteStep/module/ directory for litestep.

*Label winamp
winampX -450
winampY -20
winampWidth 250
winampSolidColors 000000
winampFontColor ffffff
winampAlphaTransparency 200
winampHeight 20
winampFontHeight 12
winampFontAlign center
winampText "winampSong('Default Value')"
winampOnEnter !LabelSetText winamp ""
winampOnLeave !LabelSetText winamp "winampSong('Default Value')"

According to the docs it should be named foowinampspam.dll and located in the components folder of foobar.

I can't test it... maybe someone else can input.

wait a min, i said I use winamp, why would a foobar player dll work on winamp? I don't have foobar installed, i don't have a foobar folder.

If you use winamp, why in the hell did you start talking about foobar?

Put square brackets around your escaped text, like shown in all the examples in that section of the help file. Ex: [winampSong('Some Text')]
