Controlling winamp inside games

Hi,

I was playing RTCW and it would be cool if I could control winamp from
inside my game.

This could be possible by using a OpenGL hack like aimbots do.

GraveDigger had this winamp menu but it's not working

Please let me know if any updates are available or any other software for
controlling winamp from inside games..

Thanks
Bye,
Skybuck.

i don't know much about winamp, but doesn't it expose a COM or DDE
interface that you can use to query and control it? check out winamp.com
(this should be obvious), and look into those scripts that people use to
display what they are playing in mIRC.
