If you haven't already heard about it, there's a very cool Winamp plug-in created by Sanchit Bhatnagar, called MiniTube. It let's you find and play music video's based off of music you're playing in Winamp. You can either use the audio from the video clip, or you can "lip-sync" the song's audio file from your library.





Download the Minitube Plug-in from Winamp.com.

Tell us how we're doing! Since we launched the new blog back in July, we've received a lot of great feedback & comments.
You can pretty much leave a comment about anything.

Talk about a particular post, a specific feature you like (or don't like). Tell us what new things you'd like to see added to Winamp or Winamp.com. Or maybe you just want to ask a simple question. If we don't know the answer maybe another reader will jump in and leave a comment. (By the way, if it's a technical question, you should visit the Winamp Forums.)

In case you don't know how to leave a comment, or you've posted one in the past but never saw it published, here's what you need to do...

Winamp ClassicPro Skin Competition




We're pretty excited to talk about a project that we've been working on. In the next several weeks we plan on launching a completely new Winamp Developer Network. The purpose of the new site is to have a centralized location for all of the Winamp documentation, code samples, reference material, and sample articles.

At launch the site will obviously be our first attempt, but ultimately the goal is to have everything a developer needs to create Plugins, Visualizations, and Skins. Since no one's more of an expert on the product than you... our developer community, we decided to make the new site a wiki. That way it can be maintained with the most up-to-date stuff.

Stay tuned for more info...




There are a ton of really clever folks out there who have developed all sorts of plugins. Anything from a lyrics plugin... to a plugin that'll turn your mobile phone into a Winamp "remote control". The latest remote control, iAmpRemote, was developed for the iPhone (or iPod Touch) by MovingApps.

It allows you to connect either your iPhone or iPod Touch to your home WiFi network to control music & video playing on your computer. From your iPhone you can see exactly what song is playing, browse playlists, search for a specific song, control playback & volume... and even see a live spectrum visualization.

If you know of any other cool or interesting Winamp videos, let us know by leaving a comment.

One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
