(About the author)
 
     **UPDATED - I cut down on the code some and changed the layout - Doesnt crash AIM!** This nifty little (beta) program called SINfo updates your AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) profile with the current song playing in Winamp. Side affects include rapid seizures and persistent yawn in rare cases... Just to warn ya, it is a little buggy... Thats why its in beta, it does have bugs. Oh, and it doesn't work with the new Winamp 3.0 (what does!?) READ THE README! -Peace

Hey, the program works great for me, and thank you for the source code. I edited it quite a bit so that I could output which song I was currently listening to on my website server, and was wondering if you would allow me to post that. I would give credit where its deserved but if you are against me posting it I'll respect your wishes. Hit me back (you can see a working model at http://rit.beckerist.com/)

This program does not work with the new AIM or WinAmp. I'll probably fix it in the future BUT until then, it doesnt work very well.

I'm still using WinAmp 2.8, but Aim6. Do I just unzip all this stuff into the winamp folder? (wishing for an executable...)
