What a great plugin!

I'm always listening to music on my computer and i always find myself wanting to change my name to the song i'm listening to.  With this plugin, all i have to do is configure it to Trevor is listening to: %artist - "%title" and i've done just that.  It's infinitely useful for me.  I've even recommended it to friends that love to listen to music as much as i do!

So far i've found no flaws in the plugin and it works great.  I've had to coax a few of my less intelligent friends through the %artist and %title and all that, but they get the idea eventually. The only problem i've had thus far is that whenever the song in Winamp changes and MSN Messenger has to change my name, MSN Messenger freezes up for a moment while it changes it.  That may just be because i'm running on low memory, though, and none of my friends have complained about it.

Great job, and i highly recommend it to Winamp fans who want a simple and efficient way to bring their playlist to their display name.

I have a problem with the 0.90 version, if I don't have the Winamp opened when I sign in the messenger crashes.

Thank you very much for your compliments! You make me all enthusiastic to start working on my plugin again! Too bad that will be at least another two weeks.

I'll look into it as soon as I have time (which will probably be in two weeks or so ).

I have a problem that, as far as I can see, no one else has. I've got Messenger 7.0.0777, MSGPlus 3.52.130 and MPWinamp 0.90. It seems as some songs won't be accepted in my name. Some seems to long, one time it said that the name couldn't be accepted and one time my name was "UUUUUUUUUU". Does anyone know why and/or what I can do about it?

Are you still alive?

or if you are sleeping, then wake up and smell the competition

it isn't working for me.

Windows-versie: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger-versie: 7.0.0777
Messenger Plus!-versie: 3.52.0130
Winamp : 2.95

When i press configuration and i fill in %title.
My nickname changes in %title. But it doesnt show the song im playing in Winamp.  I tried to restart everything but it didnt helped.

some help please

I tried Song2Nick, but that didnt worked either....

EDIT 1:
when i type: (!XARTIST)

It also doesnt show the Artist name in the msn window.
But when i type:  (!XWA) using the WMplus 2-pluginn. It shows the correct song. But not in the nick...

try winamp 5

Boohoo, I won't be able to work on my plugin for a while. School is being a complete b*tch and work is extremely busy. Terribly sorry.

any progres? free time?

The plugin does some weird things, when some songs are played.

I geuss it can't deal with caracters, that can't be used in nicknames etc.

But couldn't you make an error handler?

It's quite annoying, when MSN shuts down, just because winamp changed to a song, that doesn't work with your script.
