i played a little bit with perl and xmmsctrl:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl
print 'DestroyMenu MenuXmms
AddToMenu MenuXmms
';
_at_playlist =`xmmsctrl playlist`;
#del first 8
$pos = `xmmsctrl getpos`;
if ($pos < 5) {$pos=6;}
for ($i=$pos-10;$i<=$pos+10;$i++) {
$tmp=substr($playlist[$i-1],4,100);
$tmo=chomp($tmp);
if ($i == $pos) {$tmp=".: $tmp :.";}
print "+ \"$tmp\" exec exec xmmsctrl track $i\n";
}
</code>
i know it's ugly, but hey, it works (kind of)
