Agreed, fixed it.

Edit: I agree with the point you make. This is an example of a feature upon which was expanded during programming. At first I only intended to display "Artist - Title" but later on I thought about separating those two. I know it's redundant but it might save people some characters in their mask and now it's consistent with the tags, (!ARTISTTITLE) being available too. Do you think I should remove it?

* Thumbs up for the simplicity of the config panel/plugin:
   - no bloated skin used (which almost always looks ugly in most Windows skins for other users)
   - simple config options, yet very versatile...

Thanks for your compliments, one of my requirements was to keep it as simple as possible.

This is more of a design issue. I know that at first it is harder to use tags than it is to check boxes, but you do gain in flexibility and in a less cluttered UI. It might require a bit more of the user, but I think it is easy enough to be used by almost every user. However, I have created a short document which explains how to use the plugin. In that document I (extensively) describe how one can use the mask in various ways. Different examples are presented and their corresponding outputs are shown. The link to the document is: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=277282. Hope this helps.

Did you also notice that you can press F1 in the config menu and a simple help dialog pops up? In the help dialog (as shown in the attached image) a list of all possible commands and tags are shown.

I see your problem, could you post the mask you used? Maybe my plugin has a slight problem with one of the color tags you used. If you could post the mask you used I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Or you set the refresh rate to X seconds...
The idea of the plugin is that it changes your nickname automatically. It periodically checks with Winamp to see what song is playing. If the mask applied to the current Winamp song differs from the current nickname, the nickname is changed. The default value is 10 seconds, which means that every 10 seconds the plugin tries to update the nickname (if something changes from the current nickname).
A small note however: the refresh rate can be changed in the config screen but the changed rate will only be used when the plugin is restarted. Sorry about this, I'll try to find a solution to this problem.

I owe you all a big thanks for trying out my plugin, it can only get better.
