See track titles and album covers on your desktop

Toaster is designed especially for the visual pleasure of Winamp users, displaying a highly customizable notification on the desktop every time a new song starts in the audio player. It’s not just a decorative message: in fact, you can choose exactly which data should be displayed among a wide range of options such as artist name, track title, length and, of course, the album cover if available.

These are not the only customization options included in Toaster. You can choose between several configuration presets, although not all of them are as visually pleasant as the original one and sometimes they don’t load correctly. Anyway, you can also customize it manually by choosing fonts, colors, skins, animation effects and many more details.

The notifications can beskinned to the classic Winamp skin or a custom image. They animate in and out using various animations such as slide and fade. You can format the display to show anything you like using Advanced Title Formatting.
