is there a way to see wat ur contact's PSM is when they are currently hearing a song and their PSM is hidden behind it?

my friend was able to see mine and refuses to tell me how so im hoping someone here knows

Just look (if you have plus!live) at contact information.
Right click a contact > msg Plus! Features> Contact information

Just send (!PSM) in a message, and your contact's personal message should be displayed in the conversation

Cartox's idea would only work if the contact had changed their PSM before enabling music

I think you might want to take another look, I checked it out and found haydn was right.

ok, i tought i was wrong so i tested it out myself,
( i changed my psm while i was listening to a song)
And yes, they could see the change.

anyway, the "contact information" works with me

im using
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0168
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.254

If a friend of mine was to sign in, with the 'now playing' thingo enabled, I wouldn't be able to see the PSM that they previously had. This is because contact information only logs changes - hence the comment I made in my original post

ok, i can agree with that, that you wouldn't  be able to see what he had before.
but if he would change his/her psm while playing music then it would be visible with "Contact information" and not only before

does this apply also when my contact sign in with the "what im listening to" enabled? because i tried it and only the song she was hearing appeared and not her PSM

Here's a small script that shows a toast with the contacts PSM on it.  Regardless of whether the listening to is activated or not.  It 100%, definitely works.

You type /showpsm in a conversation window to use it.
