There was a [feature request](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/1695/1) in german forum for writing a Winamp Mp3Tag plug-in that would make it possible to edit selection in Playlist or MediaLibrary with Mp3Tag.  
Now I've discovered a plug-in called [ActiveWinamp](http://sourceforge.net/projects/activewinamp) that can run VBScripts (and do some other things) which allows to call other programs, like Mp3Tag 🙂

I've made a set of scripts (extract attachment to "where\_you've\_installed\_Winamp\Plugins\Scripts") which allows doing following actions from Winamp:

- **Mp3Tag - Edit selected items** (Playlist & ML): makes a temporary playlist with selected files and opens it with Mp3Tag
- **Mp3Tag - Edit whole playlist** (Playlist): the same with whole playlist
- **Mp3Tag - Open directory** (Playlist & ML): opens directory where the first selected file is with Mp3Tag

Scripts can be called from Popup-Menu in Playlist (Item "Scripts") and/or MediaLibrary (Item "Send To")

NOTE: temporary playlist is created in %temp%\temp\_mp3tag\_playlist.m3u and is not deleted later because i don't know if Mp3Tag has loaded it completely ☹  
if someone knows how to wait in Visual Basic Script e.g. 20 second before deleting file (or has a better solution), please post here 😉

**EDIT: Attachement is in my [later](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2264/11) post**  
EDIT2: actualized scriptnames
