I have been looking for a site that will explain to me how to go about geting info (id2 or id3 tags) from a song currently playing in winamp. I don't want to use an addon, I have been using a few for a while, but now I want to script my own. I suspect I am undertaking a huge task, but all the same, I can script to a fair degree I believe, so I would like to try this.

I don't just want:

/me is listening to: Filename

or

/me is listening to: Artist - Song Name

I would like to be able to customize to my hearts content, so I need to know what identifiers if any are used for each id3 tag, ie album, artist, title, length, bitrate, etc etc.

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated, even if its pointing me to a website that at least starts me in the right direction.

I repeat though, i AM NOT lookng for just an addon; I want to script it myself.

Thanks in advance.


i script, therefore i am smirk
theres logic in there somewhere...
