When you run Modplug (which is a commonly used module player) TrueLaunchBar will display the title and you can use the 'Eject' button to open a new file, the other controls do not seem to work.

Of course this has more to do with Modplug, which seems to be using (part of) the same interface as Winamp, but I thought I should mention this nice side effect...

Doesn't winamp support all the formats modplug does?

Yes it does...

You mean you don't need Modplug when you already have Winamp? Well, that's true, but I needed the ModTracker and so I installed their Modplug too. It has some extra features for improving the sound and bass Smile Hey, it even supports Winamp's visualization plugins!

The impact on resources is much smaller with ModPlug, too, come to think of it. That's one of the biggest advantages to mod format music.

So Yuri... ModPlug Cenral has a developer's section. Do you think the next version of Winamp Control could work (completely) with ModPlug Player? It might not be a bad idea to change the name to Media Control or something, too, since it no longer just controls Winamp.
