Hi All
Ok, here's why. I really wanted some kind of MilkDrop support in XMPlay. I really like to stare at the moving pixels it generates.
So I had
two three options:
- Make a proper Sonique plugin with the released sources of the old Milkdrop version
- Make a Sonique plugin which integrates Winamp plugins somehow in XMPlay.
- Use another player, duh
While option 3 wasn't really an option, I went for 2. I am quite aware that a proper Sonique visualisation would be much cleaner, but I was kinda intrigued by the development of the integration of these two plugin APIs.
(Old screen shot)(Old screen shot)The second main feature is the album art cover display.
It shows locally found covers and is able to automatically download covers from amazon.

Read the included winamp_svp.txt for all features and version history.
Of course, as always, feedback of any kind would be more than appreciated.

Edit: Oh, yah, I found out about bass_vis and other plugins doing the same but for other players during the development, but I hope this still is new (for XMPlay) :-) Anyway, I had lots of fun during development so I don't care that much.
