Album art as the taskbar button icon

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please, describe your suggestion:
Album art as the taskbar icon (needs un-pinning if pinned), like this:

Pin/Unpin:

7-taskbar

I gave up work on my player when I found your awesome plugin. This one feature 
would make this PERFECT (for me).

Thanks for the plugin, keep up the good work!

Nice suggestion!
I would really like to update the plug-in, and work on it a bit more, but I 
have almost no time for anything else than work+uni and some health issues 
right now :(

Could you by any chance code this in c++? :)

I'm glad you like the idea, I'll get the code down and take a look at it
over the weekend.

Hope you feel well soon!

My plug-in's code is a mess... I'm not proud of it, but it is as it is. It 
would take too much time to organize it, and if I'd have that time, I'd rather 
fix the bugs and implement some features the users asked for.

Anyways, it's not that hard, you just get an "event" on the song change, and a 
buffer with the album art already extracted by Winamp (I just get it from 
there). And then should the magic happen :P

I think I am going to abandon this feature, because as I saw it, it can't be 
done if you're running a non-english Windows (or it gets harder). Not sure if 
this hacky solution will work for everyone.
