Put the settings.ini file someplace else

Side effect of how this project began as a small convenience for myself, but now it's expected to work generally for more people.

The settings file lives, right now, right alongside the plug-in in the Winamp program folder. Depending on where Winamp was installed, say, Winamp was installed to Program Files (common situation) that means it won't have write privileges for that folder.

To fix this, the settings file could live somewhere else where you don't need special permissions to write there. Maybe in your app local folder somewhere.

Love this plugin, it's great.
One suggestion - change "playing winamp" to "listening to winamp", up to you of course but I think it's more accurate / better that way.

On the topic of making the settings file persist through closing winamp which is what I was looking for. After reading what you said above about moving the settings file, I couldnt get it to work by just moving the settings file itself to another location and I didn't want to fiddle about too much either...

So I copied the entire contents of the "Plugins" folder from its default "Program Files(x86)\Winamp\Plugins" location to the "App Data\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins" folder since it already exists and is conveniently a writable location. Then popped open winamps settings window and changed where it was looking for plugins to reflect the new location, left everything as it was in the default folder - bish bash bosh... All seems to work just fine now and persist through closing winamp.

Thanks for a cool plugin pal, much appreciated 👍
