Winamp Mute/Unmute

[somdcomputerguy]

This is a simple little script that I run when I load a streaming station such as this in Winamp. All it does is mute/unmute the speaker when the track changes. In a station like this, there is basically only two tracks, the 'nature sound', and a commercial/station ID. So if this is running while a 'regular' streaming radio station is playing, or a local playlist is being played, this would mute/unmute the speaker every other song. This would be a way to test the thing to see if it works. I have found this little script to be quite useful at night, so a blaring station ID doesn't startle me when the crickets and birds have almost gotten me to sleep, and if someone else finds it useful as well, great!
