Crooked I - Boom Boom Clap [Remix] (ft. Conyac, Horse Shoe Gang and Mykestro)

---

It displays nearly perfect, except it ALWAYS leaves off the "(ft.)" and it's contents within, no matter what the song. If I have a "(ft.)" on it, it always prunes it. :\

Yes, that would have to be because of the filter in Winamp Media. However, if you tagged your music properly, I'm not sure how the script could have pruned your bracketed words. The script only applies its filter if it is unable to retrieve meta info, which only happens if a) there is no ID3 tag enabled or b) you are listening to internet radio.

If your scenario is a), it most likely means that you have not tagged your music properly (ie. you have only named your music by its filename). All you need to do is add some ID3 tags:

1. Open your music with Winamp.
   
2. Open the track information by pressing Alt+3.
   
3. Add your information here.
   
4. Click Update.

If you have a lot of music to tag, then you might want to consider using a batch tagging program, otherwise see the second set of instructions in scenario b).

If your scenario is b), it is slightly more complicated. The filter was designed to remove the station name to avoid interference with the title and artist name, but you can do this in Winamp:

1. Open Winamp.
   
2. Open your preferences by pressing Control+P.
   
3. Go to the Plug-ins tab.
   
4. Go to the Input tab.
   
5. Select Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 3.52 [in_mp3.dll].
   
6. Click Configure.
   
7. Go to the Streaming tab.
   
8. In Streaming extensions, untick Include stream name in title.

You will also need to edit the Winamp Media script:

1. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger.
   
2. Open your Messenger Plus! Live preferences.
   
3. Go to the Scripts tab.
   
4. Select Winamp Media.
   
5. Click Edit.
   
6. In the Current Script File, select Settings.js.
   
7. Scroll down and find the line:

   code:

   ---

   var WnMd_Filter = new Array(/http:\/\/\S*\b/, /\[Connecting\] /, /\[ICY 200 OK\] /, /\[Buffer: \d*%\] /, / +\(.*?\)/g, / requested by .+$/);

   ---

8. Remove the red text (or remove the whole line if you want).
   
9. Click Save All.

Hopefully one of these two solutions will fix your problem.
