May 28, 2004 at 7:00 am #79012TigerbladeParticipantshifter – what exactly do you have for your “On-Screen Display for Music: Samurize”?? just a songname ticker, or what?
(side note, completely unrelated: this will be my 500th post)
May 28, 2004 at 7:25 am #79007shifterMemberYup. Pretty much, it shows the current song, artist, album, song length, and time remaining. Its the best OSD for Winamp in my experience.
