For the ones who dislike WMP and prefer the old good Winamp, there now also is a possibility to make use of these new possibilities. It is granted by a new Winamp plugin, win7shell, available here: http://code.google.com/p/win7shell/.

This plugin implements the following:

• Progress bar showing the current position of the playing track. Becomes yellow when paused and red when stoppen:
     
• Overlay mini-icons for play, pause and stop, also combined with the progress bar:
     
• Aero Peek – different options of displaying the track information, as well as album art and playback control buttons:
   
• Jumplist – a list of the recent and most played tracks as well as some frequently used Winamp options, accessed with a right click:
  

Plugin’s author is actively working on it, talking with the users on Google Code and releasing updates. I found out about this plugin yesterday and instantly recommend it to anyone using (or considering) Winamp on Windows 7.
