Snowcrash is a WinAmp plug-in that allows you to control WinAmp remotely from a browser. In keeping with the WinAmp tradition, Snowcrash's look can be changed via skins . The Snowcrash plug-in runs a mini HTTP server inside WinAmp. This server is called the Snowcrash plug-in server throughout this documentation . Snowcrash lets you control an instance of WinAmp that's running on a remote machine in a simple, lightweight fashion.
Music still comes out of the remote computer's sound card.
It is not streamed over the network. Snowcrash is useful only when the client and server computers are physically close by. You wear headphones that are connected to the remote computer. Or, perhaps music is blaring from speakers that are connected to a computer located in another room. Only one user should remotely control the Snowcrash plug-in server at a time.
