Bugtraq: Re: Winamp: Mp3 file can control the minibrowser

Hi,

> Title: Winamp: Mp3 file can control the minibrowser
> Date: [2002-04-3]

Actually, this is meant to be a feature. Starting from version 2.10
winamp has a "ID3v1 URL Comment support":

  http://www.winamp.com/download/newfeatures.jhtml

This basically requires you to put a certain prefix + URL in the ID3v1
comment field which will automatically redirect the minibrowser to
this site.

I wouldn't call this a "bug" as it only applies as long as the
minibrowser is *visible*. Most people anyway automatically switch it off
as it is quite disturbing.

Kind Regards,
