I've written this plug-in because I wanted to be able to control Winamp without leaving the current program. If you want to see how it works - just move the cursor to the upper right corner and wait...

When the Pilot appears, you can also try some of the hot-keys - they are identical to the main Winamp window shortcuts:
   R - Toggle Repeat
   S - Toggle Shuffle
   X or Keypad 5 - Play/Restart/Unpause
   V - Stop
   C - Pause/Unpause
   B or Keypad 6 - Next Track
   Z or Keypad 4 - Previous Track
   J - Jump to file
   Keypad 1 - Jump Ten Songs Back
   Keypad 3 - Jump Ten Songs Forward
   Left Arrow or Keypad 7 - Rewind 5 seconds
   Right Arrow or Keypad 9 - Fast-forward 5 seconds
   L or Keypad 0 - Open/Play File
   Up Arrow or Keypad 8 - Turn Volume Up
   Down Arrow or Keypad 2 - Turn Volume Down

And here is the opinion of A1 Yippee:

The latest version of plug-in was tested on Windows 98 SE 4.10.2222 + Winamp 2.80 Full.

3.20 (October 5, 2002):
-	full playlist entry is now visible in a small hint window
-	the plug-in should now appear on top of almost every window
-	fixed animation on heavily loaded systems (main window should now show up properly every time) - thanks Bernie!
-	'Show Winamp' is once again in the menu (it's for you Bernie)
-	the height of the playlist is no longer set in pixels - you can set number of entries visible on the screen
-	added one keyboard shortcut: »  J - Jump to file
-	you can now assign a hot-key which will show/hide Winamp (pressing it once will show Winamp window, pressing it again will minimize it)

Warning!
There is one known bug I can't solve. It happens on my computer no more than once a week and it cannot be reproduced. What is more - I can't even debug external .dlls with Delphi. The only chance I have is looking into the code and guessing. I have done so for the last 2 months, rewritten virtually every piece of code but the problem has not been solved. This time I'm finally gaving up - unless I accidentally find/solve this bug, this is the last major revision of this plugin.
If it works on your computer and you find it useful - you are happy. If it doesn't work or shows strange messages (like 'Canvas does not allow drawing.') - there is nothing I can do at the moment.

3.00 (March 1, 2002):
-	the plug-in has been completely rewritten, it should be more stable and all EInvalidOperation errors should be finally gone now
-	new Windows XP look (based on the final version)
-	added keyboard shortcuts - they are identical to the main Winamp window shortcuts: »  R - Toggle Repeat »  S - Toggle Shuffle »  X or Keypad 5 - Play/Restart/Unpause »  V - Stop »  C - Pause/Unpause »  B or Keypad 6 - Next Track »  Z or Keypad 4 - Previous Track »  Keypad 1 - Jump Ten Songs Back »  Keypad 3 - Jump Ten Songs Forward »  Left Arrow or Keypad 7 - Rewind 5 seconds »  Right Arrow or Keypad 9 - Fast-forward 5 seconds »  L or Keypad 0 - Open/Play File »  Up Arrow or Keypad 8 - Turn Volume Up »  Down Arrow or Keypad 2 - Turn Volume Down
-	the playlist is now a part of the main plug-in window
-	you can enable/disable the plug-in (this setting is remembered between Winamp sessions)
-	you can assign a hot-key to show Winamp and to show/hide Pilot (if the plugin is activated by the hot-key, you have to press the key once again to hide the window)

2.25 (August 20, 2001):
-	improved huge playlists support - the playlist is now in separate window, you can change its position, size and font

-	the code has been optimized

2.00 (June 28, 2001):
-	improved large-font compatibility

-	added extra song info (you can change the font)
-	works better with Windows 2000

-	more accurate animation timing

1.5 (May 1, 2001):
