Winamp 5 - Visualizations

Auto-Run Visualization on Song Playback

SUMMARY: Display visualizations automatically whenever playing multimedia files in Winamp 5.

When running Winamp 5, instead of having to click the "View" -> "Visualization" menu option to see animations during music playback, you can configure it to always show visualizations whenever music is played. If you always turn on visualizations this may save you a couple of steps every time you play music in Winamp 5.

1. Right-click on Winamp 5's title bar, choosing "Options" then "Preferences".
2. When the "Winamp Preferences" dialog box appears, click "Plug-ins".
3. Check "Auto execute visualization plug-in on playback".
4. Click "Close" to close the preferences dialog box.
