The Allmusic Hotkey Winamp Plugin (a.k.a. gen_allmusic) started out in response to a plug-in request by users Veej007 and Spikeismoo at the official Winamp community forum in 2006.

The plugin provides three hotkey actions that can be assigned by the Global Hotkeys Plugin:

• Allmusic: Browse for Artist
• Allmusic: Browse for Album
• Allmusic: Browse for Song

Additionally, when a new track begins the Minibrowser will navigate to the artist's page at Allmusic.

• Winamp 5.21
• Winamp Library 2.3 (gen_ml.dll)
• Global Hotkeys 1.31 (gen_hotkeys.dll)
• Minibrowser support

• Fixed: A closed Minibrowser is not opened on track change

• Added: Artist page is auto-loaded on track change
• Fixed: Escaping now uses | instead of + (thanks to osmosis)

• Added: Album and song support
• Fixed: Reduced URL escaping (Jay-Z should work now.)
