i am using mirc and i was wondering if there was an amip like thing for msg plus. for peeps that dont no amip is it automatically tells the users in mirc what u r litening to. just wondeing

If you type (!WAT) than it writes the currently playing track on winamp

soz but that dont work.  you r talking about msn messenger here? not mirc.?

you need to be using winamp (www.winamp.com) and when u send a message with '(!WAT)' in, it replaces it with the song u are playing on winamp. Im not sure if it works with winamp 5, and as far as i know, it doesnt work with WMP.

Also, it doesn't send a message automatically

NOTE: Do not reply or ask questions in this thread about the plugins, do that in the thread about that particular plugin.


It depends on what program you use to listen to your songs...

Plus! has a build-in tag that will be replaced by the songs title if you use it in a conversation: (!WAT). It gets the songs title from Winamp...

For other programs (like Windows Media Player, and others) there are various plugins. Some plugins work the same as (!WAT), others change your nick to the current song automaticly... Search the plugins-forum to find all those plugins...

A few examples:


Song2Nick plugin

I was just wondering if theres a plugin that doesnt change the nick when you're playing a song, but rather the "personal message" that is found in MSN 7, or something like the WMP option in MSN 7 (where I think it puts notes around the song title)?
