You need to add some action that does something with the info retrieved from Winamp, add a Show OSD right after the Winamp - Get Current Playing Song Title action, and add this {eg.result} to the Text to display setting in the Show OSD action.

Now when you execute the Winamp - Get Current Playing Song Title macro you should get the song title on the screen.

Should work, but I haven't tried with a com port.

Thank you for the {eg.result}
I installed Eventghost 2 days ago and I had the same problem because I didn't find nowhere a guide how to use it.
I plan to use Tasker and Eventghost to remotely control my laptop using my smartphone.
Is there any place where I can find more info about existing variables, their info and how to use them?

Thank you!
