VU Meters

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had a standalone peice of software that creates a Virtual Analogue VU Meter that can be used with XWindowMove to show it in the Music page?

I thought there was a VU meter plugin for winamp. I dont know if that would work though.

ive got the plugin for winamp, but i can not grab it as it doesnt have a window name

What are the info you got from this plugin ?
Each window in the system has a name, it is required.

But it is not standalone, and there is a problem on the always on top feature

Whitcap is standalone

Stereo analog vu meter is great vu meter but not standalone; there is a lot of great skins.

winamp / Options / Preferences / Plug-ins /
did you check
Auto execute visualization plug-in in playback ?
it work fine ! Are you sure, you play your tracks in a screen named "music" ? The screen "music" (in the Xmedia2 skin) is used to choose a album, then you enter in a new screen named "albumtrack" which display the tracks of the selected album. So i add a text area for the XMoveWindow plugin in the screen named albumtrack
