O.P. Winamp: Now Playing problem (come here if you have winamp and the plug-in)
I have got the Winamp plug-in from here and it was working fine, until it started saying something strange instead of the song name. It was something like [bad string].
I need someone to tell me the information in the blank boxes (see picture)

Well.. first of all I think the 'Formatting' thing needs to be {1} - {0} (use spaces)    (or {0} - {1} if you want TITLE - ARTIST).
And of course you need to check the 'Enabled' checkbox.

If I read the documentation about formatting right, the Title box should show %title% and the artist box %artist%. The other two boxes (Album and WM/Id) should be empty.

I remeber the original information in the boxes being longer than just %artist% and %titl%, but those work fine.

Where did you find that because I might be able to find the same thing, but on what I have (I don't have Toaster).

Thanks for replying ;)

If it is supposed to be like %title%, you might be able to find the tags you can use in CD Ripping Preferences (how Winamp will name the ripped tracks).

On http://www.myplugins.info/msn_messenger.php it says:

See the documentation to Toaster for the available formatting tags for the Winamp version :)

There is of course the 'Visit myplugins.info' button, which claims to have more info on the tags.
