          Is there any way to get the path of the currently playing track? This would allow album art to be used.

 I checked the WinAmp control specs and not currently without writing a plugin.
 
 After the EHX show, it'll be something I'll start working on.

          Hold the phone! Is there any reason I couldn't create a macro to just read a playlist into the UserData1 area?

 No reason at all.  Thats what the table is there for.  You should be able to insert using ph_directsql and then retrieve the data using either ph_sqlselect or ph_sqlselectinto.
 
 Let me know if you need any help.
 
 Dave.

 I'll load my usual playlist to start, match the record to the current track name, and pull the path. If there is no match found, the playlist is different, and I can use ph_winampctrl to save the current playlist to a new file and reload is.
 
 A working plan!

          Since I have made good progress with this tonight, I'll start a thread in the Macros and Programming section.

 Maybe this helps?
 
 ReadProcessMemory seems to be key to doing this without a plugin.

 Ok, I used the info in the thread and the source from WinampMagic and was able to get the currently playing song file.  It was a PITA though
  . 
 So you should see this in the next beta.
 
 Dave.

 What other info were you interested in?  If it's not too difficult, I'll try to add it.

 The good stuff that winampmagic provides:
 
 Artist, Title, Album, Year, Length
