O.P. Does this exist?
Hi everyone,

I've had an idea while using the "What I'm listening" feature in the regular version of Messenger. This new feature changes your "message" for the name of the song and artist you are currently listening to in your mp3 player app.

Well, that's really cool. But is there a plugin that will not only change that text but also alter my display image to the artwork that is registered in my mp3's ID3 file?  I don't know if that exists or if that's even possible, but I guess this is the best place to ask. I think it would be a very nice addition - letting people know what you're listening to just by looking at your display image would rule!

I guess this is the right place to ask :)

Its very possible and a great idea. Quite simple too, but not made yet. I don't have much programming experence so unless someone decides to make one I cant help you... But it is quite possible and quite easy.

Actually, I found it out here:

Only works for iTunes, but it's enough for me... :)

PS: Turned out this is a very very FAQ in this forum, lol!

i have created a test PHP code that uses
Mattys, periodically updated web image DP

and

http://www.cc.jyu.fi/~ltnevala/nowplaying/
a winamp nowplaying http post plugin

AND

Amazon webservices to grab the cover then cache it in a mysql server...

this is a tad complicated but works quite well.

If someone could make a simpler msgplus pluging that would be nice...

here is my url to my current avatar...
