Heya Erik

I just tried the new version and it seems to work pretty well for me.

One gripe I have with it right now is that changing the masks from a number to a name has caused the text box entry area limited on space to enter.

I can't fit all that I want to type/display in that box. Is there anyway to increase the size of this?

Thanks,
/Ieremiou

EDIT:
Seems to be a bug with playing MOD files and similar types. The %title pulls the filename instead. It's not pulling the title that is being displayed in Winamp.

Sad.... it's totally not working for me on v0.90.... not even songs with ID3v1 tags.
Installed it went to configure using ' Nick [%artist - %title] ', 10sec update. My nick is all the time ' Nick  [ - ] ' even tho winamp is playing songs with either ID3v1 or ID3v2.
Man, what's my problem...

Really, and the previous versions worked? Could you please post some information on the system you're using?

Was previously using v0.81 and it actually worked in automatically updating my nick. (Just that it doesnt supports those with ID3v2 tags...).
Am using v0.90 and it didnt for me in updating my nick. It DOES update my msn nick according what's written in the config nickname mask, but the variables part failed. Thus there's no artist-title as what I wanted, only appearing as ' Nick [ - ] '.

Try winamp 5.08c...

i also have yet another idea/request:
- Custom away messages in your name, don't get displayed, maybe add something so that it does

Maybe you can asks for the source code to song2nick or wmp2 creators, if they don't plan to continue their plugins development I think they will share the code with you without problems

very strange things happends...today when i were going to quicksend the filename and foldername to a friend all it send were (!XFILENAME) and (!XFOLDER)...

noticed what was wrong...the plugin had automaticlly removed itself somehow...

Yet another another request

- Support streams/shoutcasts (Display the currents song and put between () shout)
- A tag to see what type of song it is (mp3, cd, stream, mp4, etc..)
- If support streams, a way to pass the url of the .pls

Is the change nickname now sync with winamp or does it only change nickname after x seconds.

Still have the feeling its not synced

Anyways hows the progress coming allong?

ps yes i know you have exames

nice plugin, the only thing that should be changed is the lenght of the mask. Currently that's is set to 80. I already took care of it for myself but maybe there are more people, who want the field longer.

maybe it is a nice idea to release it in different languages

I have yet another idea (yes i'm full with it )
So let me first make a totall list.
Bold is new

Bugs:
- when i close winamp, and i let %status get displayed. It doesn't say closed.
(Maybe you didn't code it in, if so, then please put it in)
- I managed to get "cda://H,7.cd" (example) when i showed a contact my path of the current song (yes it was a CD). The first time it worked though: "H:\Track04.cda"
- I managed to get: "Korn - Am I Going Crazy - %albAm I Going Crazyye" in my name

Ideas:
- Ability to say, that if the tag (%artist, %album etc..) is bigger then x characters, you get ... behind the name
- Song2avatar (already requested), with ability to display current your mask, and the upcoming song
- Ability to share the song with a command, or maybe a sort of bot build in
- Totall album Numbers (so you can make a combo like this: %Artist - %song [%trackr/%tracktotall] ) (output would be Korn - Here to stay [7/19])
- What taz030485 says, if you close winamp, it restores your old nick (maybe you could give it up, what it is)
- Custom away messages in your name, don't get displayed, maybe add something so that it does
- Support streams/shoutcasts (Display the currents song and put between () shout)
- A tag to see what type of song it is (mp3, cd, stream, mp4, etc..)
- If support streams, a way to pass the url of the .pls (isn't fully working)
- A ignore "can't change nickname" feature
- A / command to give a contact all the info off the song
- A feature, if a song doesn't have the information you would get in your name, it doesn't get displayed @ all. It already does that, but let me explain. If a song doens't have (example) the year the song was made, it would display in my name "The artist here - The song here - The year here" output would be "The artist here - The song here -". Now the last - doesn't look right. Maybe add an tag to do this, that it wouldn't display the information, if it ain't there.
- Increase the inputfield
- A / command to give a contact your cue list (display) (ofcourse with a limit, imagine a cue list of 1000 songs )
- A Feature where you could share your contact the whole cue list or album. (sending the files)
