Question ID: 546896
I'll happily pay my fee to anyone who can locate a reasonably priced
(free would be good! ;-), screen saver that works with WinAmp 5.094
and displays the song title and artist (ie; the MP3 filename) that
WinAmp is playing in HUGE letters on the computer monitor so that I
can read it from across the room.

Note: I realize that WinAmp's font can be set very large, but I want a
"Screen-saver" to display the song information at all times - even
when the screen-saver is on.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

That's great  wiggy1980-ga - it's just what I was looking for! Thanks
very much. If I may ask, how on earth did you find it?

If you are an official "Google Answerer" (or whatever they're called),
then please claim you payment fee as I consider my request to be fully
satisfied. If your's was just a helpful comment, then as far I'm
concerned I owe you the $20 bounty. I don't want to violate Google's
T.O.S., and I would be happy to give them their cut (whatever it is),
but I feel you deserve some reward for taking the time and trouble to
answer my question. If you have a Paypal account, please send me the
info I need to transfer $20 over to your account and I'll be happy to
do so.

Regards,

Ron

Ron,

I really don't need any reward it literally took me 20 seconds to find
that answer. Search terms used:

"now playing screensaver
://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22now+playing+screensaver&meta=

Just glad i could help - had a look at it myself and i think the only
thing it's lacking is an option to scroll the text, as long filenames
can be a problem at larger font sizes (72p).

Regards,

Scott

Ok thanks Scott. In that case I guess I'll close this question. I was
at a disadvantage because I'd never heard of the "Now Playing" screen
saver, but apparently you had because you used those words as part of
your search string. In any case, thanks very much.
