Last.fm for Messenger Live! Plus by Yorick on 03-02-2007 at 08:37 PM

My first version of Last.fm for Messenger Live! Plus is just approved (http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/268/) but I'm already working on a new version with much more features.

Here are some screenshots:

The profile page, displays the users avatar and some general information.

Here you can view your top artist, and send them to your buddy, you can even define how many artists should be send (sometimes the full list of 50 contacts is to much).

The recent tracks, almost the same as top artists, there will be a lot of this kind of windows.

What do you guys think about the interface? Or maybe some of you have some ideas that I could add?

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to use a script to upload the song list to last.fm, like instead of their program.

Nicely done.. But i'm still looking for a way to read the current song.. Would be possible by reading the tooltip of the trayicon..

I'll look into that, but I might think it's a bit to complicated for Jscript, but I could write a dll file, coming back on this :)!

Al the information in this extension are generated by internet feeds, if you wan't the current song it's the easiest way to get that song from the player (by example winamp or windows media player), there a lot of plugins for that I think..

Thanks for the comments!

Sorry, i specifically meant the last.fm application which allows you to listen to their streams...

It would be cool to have a (!WAT) replacement for Last.fm (!LNP) or something like that :)

Btw: You've quoted me twice in the message above *-)

I know that you meant that, but can you actually play music in the application itself? I thought it only collected your current song from all kind of music players (winamp, windows media player) trough that plugins...? Or can you actually play music in the app itself?

EDIT: quoting went a bit wrong :P

Instead of defining the ScriptMenu in the ScriptInfo.xml, do it within the script itself. So now, you can display the Show Recent Tracks option only in ChatWnds :).

code:
function OnGetScriptMenu(Location){
    var ScriptMenu = "<ScriptMenu>";
    if(Location == 2)// If accessed from ChatWnd
        ScriptMenu += "    <MenuEntry Id=\"SendRecentTracks\">Send recent tracks</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu += "    <MenuEntry Id=\"Options\">Options</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu += "    <Separator/>";
    ScriptMenu += "    <MenuEntry Id=\"About\">About</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu += "</ScriptMenu>";
    return ScriptMenu;
}

}

Thank you very much for pointing this out! Hadn't thought about it yet!

Thank you!

EDIT:
Ok I need some help, because there going to be a lot of different xml feeds that will be read out (http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/) I want to make a plugin system. So I'll put the plugins in a sub directory, and read them out. Any-one an example of a other script that has this sort of thing? Because as far as I can remember is that Jscript files in sub directory's aren't read out by default?

Yes, you can. If you run it and if you are playing music with one of the supported clients it'll show the track played.

But you can also listen to their streaming servers...
