WELCOME
=======

Thank you for downloading my Channel Swapper plug-in. This is a
very simple DSP plug-in for Winamp (www.winamp.com), which
should work with any version of Winamp 2.x or 5.x (3.x not
supported).

INSTALLATION
============

To install Channel Swapper, simply copy dsp_swap.dll into your
Winamp\Plugins directory (eg, C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins).

USAGE
=====

To enable this plug-in, select it from the list in the DSP/Effect
section of the Preferences window. You then have 5 modes of
operation to choose from:

1. Left Channel Only (To Both)
------------------------------

This takes the left audio channel and replicates it in the right
audio channel. The original right audio channel is discarded.

2. Right Channel Only (To Both)
-------------------------------

This takes the right audio channel and replicates it in the left
audio channel. The original left audio channel is discarded.

3. Channel Swapper
------------------

This swaps around the left and right audio channels.

4. Mute Left
------------

This mutes the left audio channel, only playing the right channel.

5. Mute Right
-------------

This mutes the right audio channel, only playing the left channel.


That's all there really is to using channel Swapper. You can click
"Configure active plug-in" to view the About window, if you desire.

FUTURE PLANS
============

Possible plans for the future:

- Enhanced configuration options of some description

- An option to pass the audio stream through other DSP plug-ins first:
  for example, you could pass the stream through a bass enhancement
  plug-in, before reversing the channels.

OTHER WINAMP UTILITIES
======================

I have written a few other Winamp utilities:

  Winamp Control Centre (www.owenrudge.net/utils/winampcc)
  --------------------------------------------------------

  Winamp Control Centre is a series of executables that you can use
  to control Winamp from the command line - or more likely, from
  another application. For instance, you could create a toolbar in
  the Windows task bar with links to play, pause, stop buttons, etc.

  M3U2HTML (www.owenrudge.net/utils/)
  -----------------------------------

  M3U2HTML takes an M3U playlist (ideally one created by Winamp), and
  outputs a load of information in a nice HTML playlist. It can create
  PHP, ASP, ASP.NET or Perl scripts to provide advanced information
  (eg, audio format details, artist, title, etc). For an example
  playlist, see www.owenrudge.net/playlist.htm.

  Note that, as of 3rd October 2004, M3U2HTML isn't currently available
  for download, but it should be available soon.
