Song playing when a contact signs in by alegator on 09-17-2005 at 11:03 AM
Can someone suggest an application/plugin that will start an mp3 song each time a certain contact signs in? I know that Plus! can do that via notifications/sound events , but I'm looking for a specific application that has more options like unlimited play, differents songs for each contact, or even name the contact when it sign in, etc. Thanks.

hi man , you can take a wave file in the plus options for each contact... try if a mp3 works too ..

I don't know of any program that can do it myself, but i wonder why you want it... if 2 people sign in after eachother it starts playing 2 MP3's at the same time? :/

You can set different songs on sign in for each contact

There was a thread similar to this not long ago. It suggested something about editing the registry to alter the length of time that the songfile actually played for when it was set as a custom sign-in notification for a contact.
I'll see if I can find it.

Yes, I created that thread, but Plus! only allows to alter the registry and place a maximum of 140seconds or so of playtime. Also for some reason sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't , it's not a very reliable performance...
