New: Using WinAmp In Plugins From VBWinamp is one of the better music player applications out there, and one of the neat features is its extensive support for plugins, most of which are developed and made available independently from Winamp. This article provides a small DLL and source which allows you to use these plugins to play and convert audio files relatively easily from VB. It has been tested with the MP3, MP4/AAC, APE (Monkey's Audio) and Ogg Vorbis plugins; it should work fine with the other plugins for more esoteric tracker and console formats out there too.

New: Creating New Desktops and Running ApplicationsAll varieties of Windows NT since 3.51 include the ability to create and run multiple desktops. Normally, this feature isn't used, and all applications run within the "Default" desktop. However, if you want to create a kiosk-style application which has a full-screen interface, and prevents Ctrl+Alt+Del or any of the other standard Windows options from being accessed, then this technique is the way to do it.
