If you are using winamp get toaster here, just a small program that shows which song you are listening to like Media Player. No album info whatsoever. When you install it, the first time you run winamp it takes you to toaster configuration. On Presets choose MSN only. On Display uncheck enable toasts so that there will not be a pop up of the toaster program showing you track change.
