Scout for mac. Plug-in : Monkey's Audio
Description : This is an APE encoding application (that is independent of MediaMonkey) and a plug-in allows MediaMonkey to play files encoded in the APE format. APE is a fairly popular lossless compression format that ensures that your CDs are recorded at the highest possible level of quality, but takes up more hard disk space than lossy compression formats such as OGG or MP3. A Monkey's Audio encoder is also available at the Monkey's audio site.
Installation : Run the Monkey's audio installer. It'll give the option to install the Monkey's Audio Winamp plugin, which you can install to the MediaMonkey directory. Restart MediaMonkey and scan your drive for APE files.

Plug-in : SqrSoft Advanced Crossfading Output Plug-in
Description : The SqrSoft Advanced Crossfading plug-in is a work of art. It automatically removes any gaps of silence between tracks, and at the same time crossfades between tracks to make for professional sounding mixes. The only downside is that it requires a bit more CPU power than the standard output plug-ins. Definitely one to try out. Also, it is incompatible when using MAD at 24 or 32 bit sound.
Installation : Unzip the installer, run it, and let it copy files to the winamp plugins directory. Then copy the installed files from the Winamp directory to the Songs-DB plugins directory. From the Tools|Options|Output plug-ins menu, change the output plug-in to the SqrSoft output plug-in.

Plugin struct definition

  • Plugins work by defining a struct full of functions for Winamp to call. For Media Library plugins, there are three functions.
  1. Init - called after your plugin is loaded. We need an Init() function (rather than having the plugin doing init is the winampGetMediaLibraryPlugin function) because Winamp needs to give YOU data before you can really do your initialization stuff
  2. Quit - duh
  3. MessageProc. This is a function that the Winamp calls when certain events happen, such as someone activating your treeview node in the media library, or someone invoking the send-to menu

  • You communicate with Winamp one of two basic ones
  1. By using SendMessage and sending Winamp or the Media Library window custom messages which are defined in Winamp/wa_ipc.h (for Winamp HWND) and gen_ml/ml.h (for Media Libary HWND). This is the 'old' way of doing things but even some newer APIs are still built on this mechanism.
  2. By retrieving pointers to objects from the Wasabi Service Manager. Winamp has a bunch of APIs that you can grab, and plugins can add additional features that you might want to use. Examples of useful Wasabi objects are the Local Media API (which lets you query against the media library), the Application API (let's you get version #, build #, path to winamp settings folder, etc), and the Playlist Manager API (lets you parse playlists, among other things)

ml_xmlex is probably the most useful example of the bunch. ml_ stands for media library plugin. __declspec(dllexport) is a magic keyword for Visual C++ that means that the DLL 'exports' this function, meaning that a program that loads the DLL can locate and call this function. Winamp goes through and loads ml_*.dll plugins, looks for 'winampGetMediaLibraryPlugin' and if it it exists it calls it. From that function you are supposed to return a struct that defines your plugin. It has the plugin name, some function pointers and some data that winamp will populate with information that'll be helpful to you, like winamp's HWND (window handle).

So you supply 'init', 'quit' and 'MessageProc' functions as well as a description. Winamp calls Init(), at which point ml_xmlex does two things

  1. Gets the all-important Wasabi Service Manager object
  2. tells the media library to add a node to the treeview for itself File:Ml xmlex in ml.pnghttp://shup.com/Shup/57726/10872016155-Main-Window.png

Plugins can manifest themselves in many ways (or be completely invisible!), just this media library plugin is a good starting point because you don't have to write too much busy-work GUI code.

For Media Library plugins, when the media library needs your plugin (e.g. when the user clicked on you in the media library) it calls your message procedure. xmlview.cpp line 147 is the message procedure. this plugin is only handling one message which is to create a view. there are other messages like 'do you want to be on the send-to menu' but this example is keeping it simple.
