Sound Control Is Unable To Control Winamp v3 (but works fine in Winamp v2 and v5)?

21st December 2003

It is recommend you use Winamp v2 or Winamp v5 as Winamp 3 does not support the programming interface which uses to remotely control Winamp. A 3rd Party has developed an add-in (called Winamp 2 Plugin Manager) for Winamp 3 which emulates the functionality of Winamp 2 which requires. After installing this add-in will have limited control over Winamp 3.

Testing was carried out 31 October 2002 if a newer version of Winamp 2 Plugin Manager has been released since more support may now be available.

The Winamp 2 Plugin Manager is no longer available - you will need to use Winamp v5+ or v2.

The following hot key functions work:

  • Next
  • Pause
  • Stop
  • Fast Forward
  • Rewind
