That is exactly what I experience. I even asked this on the thread about Now Playing. Because it seems that the Now Playing script cannot even detect the existence of WMP on my computer. And it doesn't set the current media at all. What we see in the contact list is what WMP sets itself without any need of that script so italic formatting doesn't work. Did you try sending (!MYMEDIA) tag in a convo window as SonicSam suggested at that other thread you created. Because when I send it while I am listening to a music, it sends "NP: [00:00][Stopped]". Please help us.
IMPORTANT EDIT: I checked again now and it worked. Try restarting your computer, because I did so.

The (!MYMEDIA) tag works but my current set media still remains without the italics. Any ideas on what is wrong? I've restarted my computer several times.
EDIT: I am using iTunes

Yeh but iTunes is my default media player lol I aint changing my media player just because of this script. The script should work for all media players. It even has iTunes as an option to work with in the config menu and it still doesnt work =[

You're right iTunes is fucked up cause I just tried using WMP and it works like a charm 
The script should be compatible with iTunes though

There is none, you have to disable WLM's now playing feature to make it not set from iTunes (and then music now playing wont be able to set it itself).

RE: Now Playing Script Help by Clarkooo.1 on 01-13-2008 at 05:27 PM
So pretty much iTunes is uncompatible with this script?

RE: Now Playing Script Help by Clarkooo.1 on 01-13-2008 at 08:37 PM
So I cant use iTunes with this script pretty much?
RE: Now Playing Script Help by Xeor on 01-17-2008 at 11:19 PM
I'm also having a problem with iTunes .
When I'm playing a song the script displays the Artist / Song / Album and all the other things and when the song stops and it goes to a new song it switches back to the ' classic ' display that Msn Live always display.
Does anyone knows what it could be? Or does it had to do with the same problem as here above??
