This application looks for certain words in the title of the song that's currently playing on Winamp, and either turns down the volume
or skips to the next track on your playlist when one of the entered words is found.
I've developed this app for skipping commercials on streaming internet radio, usually the radio station will broadcast the title of the song
with the music itself, and when the commercials are on it'll say something like "commercials" in the song title, so that's one word I'd like to skip. ;)
Right... let's see it!

Stop checking the stream/songs on Winamp.
5: Cycles
Displays the number of cycles passed since the start. The song title is checked each cycle.
6: Lower the volume
Lower the volume to what you've selected using the slider when a word is found in the song title.
7: Play the next track
Play the next track in the playlist when a word is found in the song title.
8: Blocked words listing
Displays the list of words to check the stream/song for, and block when one of them is found in the stream name.
|
9: Delete button
Select an item in the world list and click this button to remove it from the list.
10: Word textbox
Type a word you want to check for, and press enter to add it to the word list.

14: Start CleanStream at initilization
Begin checking the stream/song as soon as the application is started.
15: Start Winamp at initilization
Start Winamp when you start this application, so you don't have to start it seperately.
16: Start playing track on Winamp
Start playing the first track on the playlist when Winamp starts. (requires option 15 enabled)
17: Check n cycles before skipping
When a blocked word is found, check it again for the specified number of cycles before taking action.
This option helps when the stream title does not update immediately.
18: Launch/Close apps with CleanStream
An overview of the applications and the options you've set for them. (start/stop or both with CleanStream)
|

Opens the dialog where you can browse to the application exe file you wish to start/stop/both with CleanStream.

Add a stream and one song you really like to your playlist, when you use the play the next track option.
This will make sure that when a word on the block list is detected in the stream title, CleanStream will switch to a song you like. After
the song has finished Winamp will switch back to the stream automatically. (assuming you have repeat-list enabled)

1 - I checked "Start Winamp at initilization", but Winamp doesn't start!
The application checks the Winamp installation directory key in the Windows registry. If you don't have
Winamp installed properly it can't find that registry key and Winamp won't start!
To fix it you could try adding the registry key manually:
◊ Go to Start menu -> Run, type: notepad and press enter
◊ Copy the following lines into notepad:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Winamp]
@="DRIVE_LETTER:\\PATH_TO_DIR"
DRIVE_LETTER: replace this with drive letter you've got Winamp installed on (like: C)
PATH_TO_DIR: replace this with the path to your Winamp installation folder, use double slashes to seperate folders!
Example: @="C:\\Program Files\\Winamp"
◊ Go to File -> Save As, save to your desktop, for filename use: Winamp_InstallDir.reg
◊ DoubleClick the Winamp_InstallDir.reg file, when the question pops up "Do you want to add etc", click Yes
That's all, now start CleanStream and see if it worked!
2 - I checked "Start CleanStream at initilization" and the stream is always skipped!
You've added a word to the block list that is also in the stream name when it's connecting to the ShoutCast server.
Example:
Stream name: Connecting to http://TheCoolestStreamEver:8100
Word in block list: Ever
As you can see the word from the block list is found at the end of the stream name. If for example you wanted to block EverLast (why???) but chose
to abbreviate it to Ever, then you've got a problem because the stream is blocked before Winamp can connect to it.
The workaround is to be more specific, and for example replace Ever with Everlast,
because only titles containing the entire word are blocked, not titles that contain only part of a word in the block list.
3 - I'm trying to hack your software, any tips?
Well, you could always try to edit the settings.ini and the detection.lst files (open with notepad) and try to make it do silly things! These files are generated when
the application closes, and loaded again when it starts.
I haven't really tried hacking the app myself though, but if you do manage to make it do something silly (or crash) please
do let me know! ;)

OMG I love the ClearType feature in Internet Explorer 7! It makes the text look so nice and smooth!
So how do you enable it for FireFox as well? You can't! Well not in FireFox anyway (as far as I know), but fortunately there
is another way.
The instructions below are for the Windows XP operating system.
Activating ClearType:
◊ Right-click your desktop and goto Properties
◊ Goto the Appearance tab
◊ Click the Effects button
◊ Tick the checkbox for Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:
◊ Select ClearType from the dropdown list
◊ Close the Windows by clicking OK
That's it!
Now you can enjoy the smoother text from ClearType all accross Windows XP, including FireFox!
