Winamp to PHP listened playlist compiler?

Post by JAB Creations »

I'm curious if anyone is aware of a Winamp plugin that I could use to compile a list of the music that I listen to?

The best approach in my opinion is to install the last.fm app, then use the feeds from last.fm's site to get the data on to your site.

That's just plain messy...I've already actually found another way to do this though I've hit an issue with fopen's x mode and have a thread in the PHP code forum. Thanks for your suggestion though.

It's not messy. It has the advantage that the last.fm app will feed practically anything to the last.fm site ... winamp, WMP, Foobar2000, itunes ... whatever you use to play music in fact. That's a big advantage (to me, because I use more than one media player).

Yes. It's pretty nice. I still think last.fm is better though - http://www.last.fm/user/onion2k - that's me. It's a complete history for the last 124,404 songs I've played on my PC, with charts, integrated artwork, a radio station for other people to listen to the stuff I listen to. All of which is easy to embed in your own website.

If you're doing this simply for the challenge of writing the code then your approach is great. If you're doing it because you actually want to share the info with people then last.fm is miles better.
