Hi Septimus

Take a look at this component on torry.net, it might answer all your questions about Winamp-stuff atleast :-)

http://homepages.borland.com/torry/v.../istwacomp.zip

If it's old compared to your Winamp there are quite alot of other winamp-solutions at that site so it shouldn't be too difficult to find something updated.
