Customized "Now Playing" by saint on 08-10-2006 at 11:59 AM

Hi,

Sorry if this isn't where anyone would like this, but I was wondering if it is possible to get a customized Now Playing thing.  I'm using Windows Media Player, and am hoping to be able to somehow append my personal message onto the end of the now playing string. 

I would be happy if either that or the ability to get information on the currently playing song from WMP using scripts.

Thanks

This post has a script for creating your own custom strings for the "Now Playing" function using variables such as {title} and {album}. I'm sure that you could just add your personal message to the end of the string.

The only problem I can see is that it has been designed for iTunes and Winamp. So either try it anyway (:s) or download iTunes or Winamp if you need to have this script :p

Thanks.  I'll try it and see what happens, or at least go through the code and see if i can spot anything useful.
