This is a sound I have created but doesn't seem to play when i sent it to my contacts that use plus (although I can hear it and I dont get a sending error when sent).And you were also right about getting the most info as possible.I just wonder am I one of the few who cant use this option?   Thanks again.

I just tested your sound and it works fine. Also checked if the sound is on the soundserver and it is:
Hash: #DF1C95989FA2
Name: Let the sunshine in
Category: music
Used: 10 x
Private sound: yes
Sound is banned: no
(note: you only have to mark sounds private if you don't want it to come up when someone clicks "get random sound")

If you don't get an error and it plays fine for you then the trouble isn't on your side but on your contacts side. Did they tell Plus! to not autoplay sounds: Plus > Preferences > General > Sounds (tab)..under custom emotion sounds, is "automaticly play custom sounds when ready" unticked at those contacts side? If so, to listen to it they have to click the link in the conversationwindow.

Again: aslong as you don't get an errormessage, it's working fine at your side

They are all ticked except the last one 'play sounds when my status is set to busy'. How come then I cant here the sounds they are sending me also? It's weird.

I wasn't talking about at your side, ask your contacts if they have it set that way (unticked the one i spoke about).

As you set it you should be able to hear the sound, exept when your status is "busy". If you click the link in conversationwindow after they send a sound to you, does it play? If yes and you want them to autoplay again: untick "automaticly play custom sounds when ready", exit MSNM, restart MSNM..tick that option again and restart MSNM once more.

[Messenger Plus!Sound] - Data{DF1C95989FA2} - Let the sunshine in   this is what my contact see but doesnt show any link to sound.
I dont get any message or link when my contact tries to send a sound to me. All boxes are checked also.

This sometimes happens when the server is too busy. Does this happen everytime?

This is weird. Wich MSNM (exact version: help > about) are you using and did you patch it in any way?

Yes it happens all the time(from both sides).
I use msn 7.0.0777 messenger plus 3.52.130 (my contact the same)and the plugins stuffplug 2.2.119 and hopper.But I only have intalled these two the past two days.The problem was from the start of the new feature of msgplus.

serendipity, do you or your contacts, by any chance, use the word filtering in Messenger Plus!? And if so, do you filter on the word "says"? If so, than there is your problem; Filtering on the word "says" can cause such problems ...

(filtering on "says" is never a good thing and not recommended at all)

see "CookieRevised's reply to Custom Emotion Sounds & Word Filters"

other than this, and other than the things said in this thread (make sure nothing is blocking the servers) I have no idea (yet)...

We have both unchecked this option.Now I can hear my contact's sounds but he cant hear mine.Whose fault is it now? We are getting there!

Make absolutely sure he DID remove the "says" filtering and that he isn't running any anti-something software that blocks sites, or that he has configured his "security" software in a decent way (like a firewall, anti-spyware monitors, internet security monitors, etc... etc...), also let him check out his HOSTS file (more info here on that).

Let him read this entire thread...

EDIT: Glad it worked out

He has done the settings in IE and in his firewall.Setting http://sounds.msgplus.net to trusted sites.Here is his tracert results
