Modifying Winamp

**gprime** · July 22nd '06

(Not coding per say, but listed here because it involves editing of code).

Now, I'm not sure how many of you use Winamp. Personally, I hate it, and thus don't use it. But given how popular it is, I assume most of you have it installed at the very least. And I imagine most of you use http://youtube.com/. I'm sure some of you use Pandora as well. Wouldn't you like to be able to play both Youtube and Pandora from your Winamp player?

If so, do the following:

In Notepad open the file C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ml\ml_online.ini

Code:

Replace this line

ElementID10=-1

with

ElementID10=7000
ElementIcon10=11003
ElementSubbed10=1
ElementName10=Pandora
ElementURL10=http://www.pandora.com?cmd=mini
ElementID11=-1

Then:

While C:\Program Files\Winamp\ Plugins\ml\ml_online.ini is still open:

Add (to the bottom of the file):

Code:

ElementId11=8000
ElementIcon11=11002
ElementSubbed11=1
ElementName11=Youtube
ElementURL11=http://youtube.com/?cmd=mini

You should also remove this line: ElementID10=-1, save the file, and restart Winamp.

Of course to do these, you'll need the latest version of Winamp. (Not tested with Winamp Pro.)
