Development Plans

By users’ request, the following improvements are planned:

  1. Use Unicode-build, which will allow correctly displaying track titles in any language.
  2. Additional settings for displaying the notification:
    1. Only when Winamp is minimized,
    2. Ignore pausing and/or stopping.
  3. Get metadata of the playing song using the Winamp API rather than Winamp window title.
