Volume Display

Post by fathead »

Is it possible to display the Winamp volume or even the system volume as a % on my LCD when I have Winamp running? I have searched around and could not find a way to do it.

I am using a 20x4 LCD as a primary display in my carPC/MP3 player so I need to be able to see the volume level.

No the winamp volume is currently not supported... :cry:
I suppose that is a limitation in the winamp front-end for this...
Maybe a Plugin request for this will help! :)

unsure if this will help...

Public Function Winamp_GetVolume() As Long

Winamp_GetVolume = SendMessage(hWndWinAMP, WM_USER, -666, WA_SETVOLUME)

End Function

this is undocumented in winamp, so you will be able to get its current volume level

You need this: http://www.lansley.co.uk/forum/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=546

Windows system volume as a number or % with or without leading zeros.
You can then use it in bars etc if you want it as a graphic rather than a number.

Hey fishthecat
Not the System volume but WINAMP volume

And as if by magic, someone's created a winamp volume too:
