(This is done because there are many song names and band names that have hyphens in them, and it can be confusing where to split something like "One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six". Is it a band named "One - Two - Three - Four" who has a song named "Five - Six", or is it a band named "One - Two" who has a song named "Three - For - Five - Six"? The ambiguity disappears if you use a wider en-dash (–) to separate the artist from the track title. And frankly it looks better.)

1. Configure WinAmp to save the song info & album art of the current song playing song to a file. This allows us to grab that information with fewer resources than sending it through API calls. And allows one to get the same feed on a different computer.
* 1. Unzip [Aldviva's](https://github.com/Aldaviva) [NowPlayingToFile plugin](https://github.com/Aldaviva/WinampNowPlayingToFile/releases/latest/download/WinampNowPlayingToFile.zip) into your WinAmp folder, right next to ```WinAmp.exe```.
* Restart WinAmp
