Enqueue selection with Shift + ENTER to Winamp

Post by void »

To enqueue the current selection with Shift + ENTER to Winamp:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /custom_verb01=Enqueue
  • From the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the keyboard tab on the left.
  • In show commands containing, type in: custom
  • Select File | Custom Verb 1 and click Add....
  • Press Shift + ENTER and click OK.
  • Click OK.
Now, when you press Shift Enter, the current selection will open using the Enqueue verb.

If winamp is installed correctly, this should run the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe" /ADD "%1"

Where is Winamp configured?
How Everything knows where you want to enqueue to?

When Winamp is installed it creates the enqueue verb for most audio files in the registry.
Applying audio associations in Winamp should also install the enqueue verb.

Everything uses this information in the registry to launch and enqueue with Winamp.

It doesn't have to be Winamp, it can be any media player that supports a custom "enqueue" verb.



The registry entires for the enqueue verb should look like this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3]
(Default) = Winamp.File

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\shell\Enqueue\command]
(Default) = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe" /ADD "%1"
