MessengerSays blogger Leah has posted some new information regarding a new activity for Windows Live Messenger beta testers and users. How awesome would it be if two people, in a conversation, could share one playlist? What about sharing a playlist along with the ability to add or remove tracks, skip to the next song, or reshuffle? Well, this is now a reality for Windows Live Messenger users!

How To Use It:

1. Open a conversation window
2. Hit “activities”
3. Select the second one down: Music Mix
4. When the play list opens, add tracks to it and jam away…together!

Details:

• Remember – you’re sharing a play list. If you fastforward, skip, or stop a song, your buddy will hear the same thing you do.
  
• Songs are not actually transferred to your buddy, only a compressed version is temporarily cached on their computer while you mix.   
  
• Playlist file formats are wma, mp3, & wav
  
• Music Mix holds up to 25 songs at a time, each a max of 20MB in size. You must delete songs to add more
  
• Album art info is shown at the top of the activity window only in the US, but obscure songs can sometimes show the wrong album art.
  
  
• The Search button only shows up for songs added by your buddy, clicking it will take you to an MSN Music search for your song

Requirements:[list]
[*]Currently only available in the US, France, Germany, Japan, and the UK.
[*]Requires WMP 10, which is available for Windows XP and up.
[*]Now available on Windows Live Beta, but VERY SOON  MSN Messenger users will see it show up in their activity menu as well, so keep checking it.
