Optional LCD Display

The LCD Display is a cool new option that lets you see what track is currently playing, as well as almost all the other info available in Winamp. This plug-in will output ID3 song info to the LCD Display panel. You can choose most anything in the ID3 tag to be displayed. My particular display has a backlight along with a control to adjust the brightness and contrast. Since the serial port is in use by the IR remote, the LCD Display uses the parallel port. I used my player without an LCD Display for over a year so it is not a necessity. It costs between $50 and $100 to add the LCD Display to your system, below is a list of the info which can be displayed. Due to popular demand, there is now a file with the plug-in that allows you to support different size LCD's…. Anything from 10x1 to 40x4 in size!

Info Which Can Be Specified for each line (you simply choose 4 of the 16 items and put them into a file, and the plug-in will display those four items in the order you chose):

0 Track Name (from the ID3 tag)
1 Artist (from the ID3 tag)
2 Album (from the ID3 tag)
3 Year (from the ID3 tag)
4 Comment (from the ID3 tag)
5 Current position (in time) mm:ss (min:sec)
6 Current position mm:ss.hh (min:sec.hundredth)

8 Song length mm:ss
