Whoa.... very interesting.  I was wondering if that was possible.  I wish I
had more time to play with this stuff!!  ;-)  I really have to get this perl
thing running...

  not currently, but it wouldn't be too hard to do. i've got a handy plugin
that somebody wrote me that'll output the path of the currently playing song
to a known filename. you could evaluate the file it dumps to see if winamp
is playing, then change your 'winamp:power' accordingly.

  you can get the plugin at http://therestons.com/info/winampCurrent.zip

  i think that the plugin puts "none" in the file when winamp stops, but
you'll have to check. i've written a little perl script that'll take this
path and get some info about the song and put it in text files available to
ecs. this comes in handy if you're listening to a song, but can't remember
the song name or artist - have ECS speak it!

which I use in a similar fashion.your event recognize if you go to winamp
and click on the stop button?
