currently messenger can show the now playing song of winamp and windows media players. but what about those of us who listen to music on real player can we have a plugin to enable our now playing songs to be shown in the personal message box too?

I dont think winamp works :/

iTunes does tho.

Winamp does work with it, although you need a plugin for Winamp to make it work. Search Messenger Blog (can't recall URI atm).

http://msnblog.stuffplug.com/

you can find the one that works with winamp there...

I doubt that anybody will make one for RealPlayer for various reasons at the moment, maybe in a while...

The Majority of peopel use winamp, windows media player and iTunes sorry...

yeah i know what you mean. me personally i use either windows media player or real player. you see i use windows media player for playing back songs i listen to regularly so that i don't have to keep searching for them each time i just click on them from the recent songs list. realplayer is what i use when i have downloaded a song from the internet and want to play it to make sure i got the whole song successfully then the song is moved into my main music files folder. so having a real player plugin would be nice i understand it might not happen just yet but it would be nice if someone would atleast consider the idea

Yes would be really nice if somebody could make it bc i use windows media player, winamp and also Real Player!

<offtopic>Real Player stinks!... I don't see why anybody would ever want to use that kinda shit.. ..
Sorry.. That's just my view..

Well.. I don't know if there is much "programming" with RealPlayer, getting the song title, artist etc.. Haven't checked on it.. But I wouldn't count on it, since the Real player company seems like a bit to uptight about things... Everything is just THEIRS.. I think they have closed their player very much so it is very difficult to extract data from it.. I'm not saying it is, I'm just saying that is how I suspect it to be... Someone might want to check up on this though?... Or correct me if i'm wrong?

there is one program called Music2Messenger that works with realone player, winamp and XMPlay... although its not a plugin (it has his own icon) it works like a charm.
another good thing it has is the ability for you to write watever you want in the music field

http://www.download.com/Music2Messenger/3000-2150_4-10392431.html

Just tried Music2Messengerv1.1, with:

Windows XP SP2, english
MSN Messenger 7.5.0306
Messenger Plus! 3.61.145
XMPlay version: 3.2 (.0.7)


NOT WORKING!
Only string it puts up is the string called "Format"
The string is totally useless!

EDIT:

I am changing mind about this program since I saw the Help with another GFX driver.
I couldn't see it first since it displayed black text on black background.
The "Format" window just needed some input.
I wrote my text like this: I'm Listening To "{0}" With "{1}"
Now the program is working properly in Messenger.
I hope this is some help for others. 

I need a program/plugin that works for Realplayer on Live Messenger!!!

Music2Messenger worked fine to 7's, but now I need something that works on 8's

Please!
