Load your favorite .mp3 or other audio files in Winamp as usual. If a .cdg file exists in the
same folder with the same name than the audio file a window will appears on the screen
and will start to display the content of the cdg file (usually lyrics). The content is
synchronized with the music.
The window can be dragged anywhere on the screen with the mouse. If you double-click in
the window, it will go alternatively between full screen mode and window mode. It's
possible to resize the window by dragging the border, but it's better to use the predefined
zooms to keep a good visual aspect ratio. You can select the zoom mode by clicking with
the right button in the window. The "escape" key can be used to return to window mode
from full screen mode.
The right-click menu can also be used to select the "always on top" mode. When "always
on top" is checked, no windows can be placed in front of the cdg window.
If the CDG file contains different channels, you can select individually which channels to
play from the channel menu. You just have to right click in the window and go in the
channel sub-menu to select which channels are enabled.
Configuration
From the preference menu, you can configure some aspects of the display. To open the
config screen, press "control-p" in Winamp and select plugin/general purpose in list. You
can now select the cdg plug-in and click on the configure button.
In the preference dialog box you can enable or disable the player operation by checking the
"Enable Plug-in" box. You can change the width and height of the margin of the window.
The number represents the number of pixels in 1x zoom mode. You can enable or disable
the auto-hide cursor feature. When it is on, the window hides the cursor in full screen
mode after 3 seconds of mouse inactivity.
For multi monitor system, you can configure which adapter to use when full screen mode
is engaged. This is useful for a system that have a monitor and a TV. You can redirect the
output of the plugin to the tv.
