Winamp plug-in: Fast User Switching

The Winamp plug-in Support for Fast User Switching allows you to define actions which are executed when you lock/unlock your computer or when another user logs in.


If you don't use the plug-in ...

A small example: User A locks the computer while Winamp is still playing. After some time User B logs in and isn't able to play any media files because the Winamp player of User A is still playing. There is no easy way to stop User A's Winamp without knowing his login password.


What does the plug-in do?

You can choose from various actions which should be executed when you lock/unlock your computer or when another user logs in. The available actions are:

  • Play
  • Play next song
  • Pause
  • Stop
  • Stop with fadeout
  • Stop after current
  • Quit Winamp
  • Do nothing
Moreover the plug-in lets you define a delay (up to 60 seconds) for most of these actions.


System requirements

The plug-in requires Windows XP or a later version of Windows and is compatible Winamp 2 and Winamp 5.
