yer cuase msn will always listen to your ideas i sent in 30 ideas for the next release of msn last year and they past it on to the tech team and bits of my ideas where used like i said how about showing what music your playing and i sent that in and now look but it will only show what music your listning to if your using windows media player which is kind of stupid. But i think you have some great ideas you should tell them :)


RE: msn spaces music - is it possable? by DJKAL on 10-27-2005 at 06:55 AM

thast cool - i do use the now playing feature but i can agree that only being compatible with windows media pkayer is sad :( lol

This is incorrect. The "What I Am Listening To" feature in MSN Messenger also works with Apple iTunes as well. They also hope to support other players soon

the feature is accessible with every player that supports it. yes, the player has to support it, not msn messenger. every player can be built to work with the nowplaying feature. winamp, for example, has a few plugins which can do that.

Out of interest, what would aplayer need to support this feature. Is it documented anywhere online?

a plugin must simply send a specific string to msn mesenger using the SendMessage API, that's all, nothing more...

All the mumbo jumbo shown in that code is redundant... The only thing you need is shown in the SetMusicInfo procedure in Module1.bas of that code...

Thanks for the links guys, looking at them now

EDIT: CookieRevised, i have had a look at your the thread on MSNFanatic. I have tried the VB code, however it does not add the song info from my application into the MSN Messenger PSM. I assum you need to change some code for the specific application.

I changed the following code
code:
SendSong("Title","Artist","Album")
to
code:
SendSong(SongTitle,"","")

SongTitle is a variable i have within my application which store the Title of the song being played. I also left the Artist & Albumm black, as i just want the song title (just while i was testing it, once it works i will add the artist and album info)

However my changed code does not add the content of the SongTitle variable to the PSM. I also left the code as you gave it, but even then it does not add "Title" as the song title as i would expect. Is my understanding of this wrong?

(Apologies for posting about this problem in this thread and not creating a new one)

Please can you help
