I'm sort of in a challenge I made myself, collecting 40,000 songs for my 160GB ipod. Friends and family sort of cheer me on and I usually keep them updated posting the new total on Facebook and in my WLM screen name.
This got me thinking.
I'm not in any way a developer, and I wouldn't know where to start, so I'm asking as a request/challenge, is there anyone out there who could possibly set up a script that can do the following?:
1. Change Screen Name or Personal Message to say the total number of
a) Songs
b) Videos
c) Photos
Off of a plugged in ipod? Some kind of counter, you know?
2. Allow script to update by minute of user's choice.
I've seen these kinds of features from scripts before, but never with the aid of an USB external device.
If anyone tries this out, I will be keeping an eye open in hopes! Thanks!
I highly doubt this is possible, as i dont know how a script would call a USB external device without using a lot of coding and an externall dll, which would take a lot of work, so i doubt this will be made, sorry to burst your bubble.
I suppose however, i cant remember if itunes shows the number of songs and videos etc, because a scirpt could be made to read a certain section from that window, but itunes would need to be always open and also, this would probably cause a lot of lag within messenger
