The latest build of WWWinamp is good to go. I've been trying to expand out the WCF Endpoint to include as much information to the client as possible. This should allow a remote application access to every resource that WWWinamp has available locally.
WWWinamp v4.1 Build 2809 includes the following fixes/changes:

[WCF] Added WWWinampGetStatus() Method to [...]

WWWinamp v4.1 Build 2793

25 August 2007

This is the first version of WWWinamp v4.1 that I feel is somewhat safe for use. I'm not ready to say it will replace the current version available (4.0 Alpha 13) because this version was completely restructured as far as how the code interacts and operates internally. A lot of the HTTP Daemon was re-written [...]
