Skype Journal: Music Player Plug-In
February 22, 2005 09:16 AM
Skype for Windows currently has a setting File/Options/Advanced/Auto-Pause WinAmp which stops WinAmp when a new call is received. Unfortunately after the Skype call WinAmp doesn't resume playing. This beta program MuteForSkype adds music handling capability to Skype for Windows Media Player, WinAmp and Sonique. If you like your music and Skype this may be the plug-in for you.
When the phone call starts your music player is paused and on hanging up the music playing resumes. It requires Windows and .NET 1.1.
I installed this on my T-40 Laptop with XP. You will need to restart for the app to doc with Skype. It then requests the SkypeAPI connection. I can confirm it works. Personally I can't wait to match this one with a bluetooth stereo headset and headset answering.
