===== What is MediaCenter =====

[[MediaCenter]] is a replacement for WinampPlugin and extends upon that to support additional features and players.

Currently only supports Foobar (Default UI and Columns UI), and Winamp.

Currently supported:

  * Foobar (Different UI's need different code. Current supported is default and columns)
  * Winamp


iTunes and WMP suck and make it harder to get Current Song

What's new over WinampPlugin:

  * Song info showed on screen
  * quick commands from /mc to change songs and such.
  * new <song> macro! Simply typing <song> in game will show your current song on Winamp and Foobar. 

**WARNING: This plugin is BETA. It is known to cause FFXI to Lockup, Crash, or just not work SOMETIMES when loading. If I knew why, I'd fix it, as it works sometimes, sometimes doesnt. I will look into it asap when I get them time, but for now use at your own risk.**


===== Usage =====

[[MediaCenter]] can be loaded by opening your Windower console and typing //load mediacenter//. Nothing further is required to make use of this plugin. [[MediaCenter]] is autoload friendly, one can add the //load mediacenter// command to their **init.txt** file in the **scripts** folder where Windower resides.

===== Commands =====

**/mc** - Pause/play in Foobar, just plays in Winamp

<code>/mc command</code>

  * **play** - Plays
  * **pause** - Pauses
  * **stop** - Stops
  * **prev** - Previous Track
  * **next** - Next Track
  * **hide** - Hides the song displayer
  * **show** - Shows the song displayer
