General EQWatcher Concepts > The Basics > WinAMP Module

The WinAMP module handles all of the commands used to manipulate WinAMP.  These include "winamp play" "winamp back" "winamp next" "winamp pause" "winamp stop" "winamp repeat" "winamp random" and "winamp play '[search string]'".

These commands are very basic.  The repeat command toggles WinAMP's continuous play mode, and the random command toggles WinAMP's mode that randomly selects the next MP3 rather than play the list in order.

Please note that if you change WinAMP's playlist while EQWatcher is active, the play by search string command may not work correctly.  All you need to do is restart EQWatcher or WinAMP to fix this.  The reason this happens is WinAMP doesn't save its active playlist until it is saved manually or when the program closes, and EQWatcher uses the saved playlist to search for the song you want.

The search string is not case sensitive, and each word (or partial word) given to match must be present.  Therefore "OnE MeTaLlIcA" and "Metallica One" will both find "Metallica - One" in your playlist.
