Winamp Command Line



Staff review Control Winamp thru command line. Handy for those that wish to do things by way of command line. Wish it didn't pop up the CMD box - Suppressed the popup (so it doesn't drop fullscreen games) by creating shortcuts to CLEveR.exe then switching shortcut properties to minimized.You can then map any multimedia keyboards media keys to launch the shortcut. In order to fix that I need to do one of the following. Change a playback device from the command line. (then I can run it before calling the Winamp). Specify a playback device in the command line for Winamp. Specify a playback device in 'Winamp.ini'. Forget about Winamp, choose another player, for.

Winamp Media Player 5.56 Installation

I downloaded and installed WinAmp Media Player 5.56, which I've placed on MoonPoint Support at Winamp Media Player 5.56

Winamp was developed by Nullsoft. The company was acquired by America Online (AOL)in 1999. Nullsoft also developed open source software installer software,Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).

Ffmpeg Command Line Examples

NSIS supports some default command lineoptions, such as the /D option for specifying the directorywhere software should be installed, if you don't want to accept thedefault value.

Ffmpeg Command Line Reference

/D sets the default installation directory ($INSTDIR), overriding InstallDir and InstallDirRegKey. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces. Only absolute paths are supported.

E.g. if you accept Winamp's default installation directory, itwill be installed in C:Program FilesWinamp.But, if I wanted to change the installation directory, I couldspecify it on the command line. E.g. I could specifyas c:program filesAudio and VideoWinamp on the command line as in the following example. If the directory pathAudio and VideoWinamp doesn't exist, it will becreated.

'C:UsersJaneDownloadswinamp556_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe' /D=c:program filesAudio and VideoWinamp

Line

Then when the installation program ran, I would see the directoryI chose as the default location for installing the software, i.e.I wouldn't have to change it during the GUI installation.

Note: you can substitute environment variables in the location. E.g.%programfiles% can be used. That usually has thevalue C:Program Files on most systems (SeeConstants).

By default, the installation will use the following start options:

Winamp line in settings
  • Create Start menu entry
  • Create Quick Launch icon
  • Create Desktop icon

I found webpages stating that those options, too, could be changed by a command line switch.When I install a program, I normally don't want a 'Quick Launch icon' nor a 'Desktop icon', justthe 'Start menu entry'. To select just that option on the command line, some webpages statedone could use the /install option on the command line, e.g.

winamp556_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe /install=S

  • S=start menu icons
  • F=file association
  • Q=quicklaunch icon
  • D=desktop icon
  • R=fake registration
  • A=run winamp agent/set default

However, the install switch didn't actually work. And I later foundother webpages, e.g. Winamp Silent Install Method, stating that the switcheswere never actually implemented.

There is an option for a 'silent' install, where you don't seea GUI nor receive any prompts. Use the /S switch (use a capital 'S'). Note you will need to put the /S switch before the /D switch, otherwise you would see the /S option appear as part of the locationfor where the software would be installed.

So put the /S before the /D switchwhen you specify an installation directory as well.

Winamp Line In Settings

'C:UsersJaneDownloadswinamp556_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe' /S /D=c:program filesAudio and VideoWinamp

The Winamp installation process installs a toolbar in InternetExplorer. There is no option during the installation process to nothave it install this toolbar. I find the installation of toolbarsby software without asking extremely irksome. It's a behaviorI associate with adware/spyware. I've seen some user's browserwindows where 1/3 of a browser window is occupied by varioustoolbars that were likely installed along with othersoftware they wanted installed, probably because theusers didn't realize they didn't have to install thetoolbars as well or weren't give the opportunity notto install them.

You can find the Winamp Toolbar listed within thesoftware uninstall option in the Control Panel.I also found information for uninstalling it in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallWinamp Toolbar.

Ffmpeg Command Line Aac

Value name:UninstallString
Value data:'C:Program FilesWinamp Toolbaruninstall.exe'

In this case I don't know if it didn't appear beneath thedirectory where I installed Winamp because I didn't opt to use thedefault installation directory of C:Program FilesWinamp,so the installation might have created a separate C:Program FilesWinamp Toolbar directory. In any case,I didn't want it.

When I ran the uninstall program from a command line with'%programfiles%Winamp Toolbaruninstall', awindow opened informing me of the following:

Firefox users: This uninstall program will not remove Firefox Add-ons.Add-ons for Firefox must be removed by launching Firefox, choosingthe 'Tools' menu, and choosing 'Add-ons.'

When I checked Firefox on the system, I didn't see a Winamp Toolbaradd-on, though. I removed Winamp Toolbar from a command line promt.The /S option will perform a 'silent' uninstall forthe software. Note: you must use a capital 'S'.

Winamp linein command

The installation of Winamp also puts a shortcut on the desktoptitled '50 FREE MP3s +1 Free Audiobook!' that has a targetpointing to http://www.emusic.com.An eMusic directory is created beneath the directory where Winamp is installed.

I've found that the catch with many 'free' offers is that youare asked to provide credit card information with the provisionthat you will be charged on a monthly basis to continue usingthe service after the free period ends or you've obtained the'free' items. Supposedly you can cancel your 'subscription'at any time, but the offeror counts on people forgettingto cancel or, in some cases, makes it extremely difficult tocancel.

At Complaints Board,which is a site where people can post information about their badexperiences with companies, I found eMusic.com Complaints - Unauthorized charges where someoneposted that was her experience with eMusic.

MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED $ 95.90 FOR A FREE 50 SONG DOWNLOAD THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A BONUS GIFT FROM TOSHIBA WITH THE PURCHSASE OF MY NEW LAPTOP. THATS B.S.!!!

I checked the Better Business Bureausite for information on the company. It was listed ateMusic Review, but was not rated. So, just the one complaint doesn'tseem too damning. And, though it has a business relationship with AOL, a companyI don't consider trustworthy from personal experience with AOL and from widespreaduse of deceptive billing practices (see AOL likes you so much, they Bill you Twice!, they aren'towned by AOL, so perhaps there's no need to be suspicious of eMusic. And, something I think deserves kudos to the company was theirearly support of the MP3 formatand lack of digital rights management (DRM) encoding of the music they sell.

According to Emusic shares jam on AOL deal, in 1999 AOL and eMusic reached anagreement which calls for:

EMusic.com and the ICQ, Spinner and Winamp brands to cross-promote downloadable music products through reciprocal links, Web advertising and other marketing initiatives. In addition, EMusic.com will develop co-branded sites with ICQ, Spinner and Winamp for downloadable music.'

But, I decided to remove the software associated with eMusic from thisparticular system.

The registry entry associated with uninstalling the software is atHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstalleMusic Promotion.

Value name:UninstallString
Value data:'C:Program FilesAudio and VideoWinampeMusicUninst-eMusic-promotion.exe'

I ran 'C:Program FilesAudio and VideoWinampeMusicUninst-eMusic-promotion.exe'from a command line to uninstall it.

The installation routine for Winamp puts shortcuts on the desktop. In addition tothe eMusic offer one, which disappeared when I uninstalled the eMusic Promoion offer, a WinAmp, and a WinAmp Remote shortcutare placed on the 'public' desktop. On Windows 7, %public%is C:UsersPublic by default. So the shortcuts are atC:UsersPublicDesktop

I don't like shortcuts cluttering up the desktop,so I moved the Winamp.lnk shortcut tothe Start menu. Since there was alreadya Winamp Remote shortcut placed withina Winamp Remote folder under the Startmenu, I just deleted the Winamp Remote shortcutfrom the desktop.
