Possibly OT: Controlling winamp with Python

[Brent W. Hughes]

The Python program won't decide whether a commercial is playing, I will.  At 
that point, I will run my program which will press mute, wait 20 seconds, 
and then press mute again.

Actually, I could leave the program running but minimized to the task bar. 
When I hear the advertisement, I just click on the program in the task bar. 
It knows what to do from there.
