O.P. Now playing issue
Despite having the Winamp MSN plugin, MSN won't let me show what I'm listening to. In Windows Live Messenger, when I go to "Show what I'm listening to", I get this:
"This feature requires Windows Media Player 9 or later. To install the latest version of Windows Media Player, press OK"

Right, there's a reason my windows installation doesn't have media player, I don't need it, I hate it for various reasons and I used vLite to remove it. Since this is Vista we're talking about, Microsoft doesn't provide a setup file for WMP11, since it comes integrated with Vista already. So I can't reinstall it back into the OS unless I recompile a build of Vista, format, and reinstall everything - which I'm not going to do for the sake of showing people what I listen to.

So I'm wondering if anyone can create a plugin of somesort, or tell me how to bypass this restriction...
