Show title/artist of current song in WinAmp?

Is it possible to show the currently playing title/artist info in HB? I searched the archives and found some similar question from '05 but nothing that seem to be an answer.

I listen to shoutcast streams a lot and it would be nice to show info about the current song on the SWRemotes.

If there's nothing available from the WinAmp device (didn't see anything), then perhaps a script that I can call from a task. If nobody has anything; I suppose I'll cobble something together ans post it here for the next time...

I use this plugin to gather info from winamp for music that is actually playing ie for use with shoutcast etc

simple script will populate a device property and then update with timer
Nowplaying is another one you can use
