I had this self same problem with Winamp. Here is what I did:

Got gen_MSN.dll from www.mess.be (go Donwload>Browse All MSN Files> Search for 'The Blasphemer'> click the bottom link 'MSN Messenger Music Plugin' then download.)

Installed it.

It didn't work for me at first, so I asked a friend for help, and they told me to download this file.

I then went C:/Program Files/<user name here>/Winamp/Plugins, deleted the gen_MSN.dll that was in there and replaced it with the one I had. I then restarted MSN and Winamp and its worked ever since.

Then make sure under your name you have 'Turn On What I'm Listening To' ticked.

If there isn't a gen_MSN.dll in your Winamp Plugins Folder, don't worry, just put the one you have downloaded in there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tasha,

I did exactly what you said, I even restarted my computer, but still nothing shows up.

Thanks for the help though.


What I have:

• Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
  Messenger Client Version: 7.0.0777
  Messenger Plus! Version: 3.50.0124

The Plug-ins:

• StuffPlug-NG
  Systemstat
  ColorNick v2
  Screenshot Sender 3
  File Transfer Plus

I'd made sure that in StuffPlug, "Allow multiple lines in your display name" was unchecked. Apparently, a friend of mine had it checked and his music didn't show. He unchecked it, and voila! It worked. I tried mine, but no luck. Still nothing.

Hmm.. seems odd.. Try reinstalling stuffplug and doing what your friend did.

Try disabling Chat-Only Name, if you have it enabled.

Okay, I removed Plus and everything associated with it. Reinstalled MSN 7 (now it's unmodified). I tried playing something in WMP (with the plug-in enabled, of course), but it still doesn't show anything.

There must be something on my system conflicting it, no?

Strange, with me it just works perfectly and i never installed a plugin...

I'm having problems with this too. It works fine with Media Player under the default settings and stuff, but when using any of the WinAmp Plugins/MSN Messenger 7.0 stuff it refuses to budge.

I've tried whats directed on mess.be and Tasha's comments but neither work. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but all i have to do is check the "Show what im listening to" box, not add any of the (!Song) (!Artist) kinda stuff to the personal message?

Edit: After several MSN Messenger/Winamp restarts and several Toaster/MSN Plugin by TB reinstalls it's finally working. It seems persistance is the key here
