I posted in another thread some more technical information as to whats going on with WLM 2009 and Music Now Playing.

The actual reason for this bug is due to the custom formatting used by Music Now Playing for the raw PSM value
A normal PSM value sent by WMP looks something like this:
code:
WMP\0Music\01\0{0} - {1}\0T.N.T.\0AC\0Bacobens Rock Top 500\0\0
Where "\0" represents a NUL character.
Splitting these values into an array with their meanings results in something like this:
code:
[0]Player
[1]Media type [Music|Games|Office]
[2]Enable bit (Show what I'm listening to is checked)
[3]PSM string formatting
[4]song name {0}
[5]Artist {1}
[6]Album {2}
[7]some ID string {3}

WLM 8.5 and lower will use the value of [3] to determine how the PSM is shown inside the client. In WLM 14, this was changed so now only the default format of "{0} - {1}" Is used, and ignores the formatting string altogether.

Now here's where dt's Music now Playing comes in. MNP because it can show more than song artist and album, can't use these 3 fields alone. Instead, the whole thing is written as the format instead.
Here's an example:
code:
\0Music\01\0AC/DC - T.N.T. (03:34)\0\0\0\0\0
So in fact WLM 14 is showing the "What I'm Listening to" properly, its showing"<song> - <artist>" which if you're using MNP results in " - "

It works fine with WLM14 =)
It will only display a miswritten link in your contact's contact list, while showing normally in a convo window.

What it should do is update the media string with the proper artist and album filled in so that it will still display in the contact list. Then it will display the custom string in the convo window.

Edit: Looks like the change needs to happen on line 237 of main.js, I'll see what I can do.
Edit2:
Change near line 237 from
Javascript code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", parseSongFormat(player, playerName, format));

to
Javascript code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", parseSongFormat(player, playerName, format), parseSongFormat(player, playerName, "{title}"), parseSongFormat(player, playerName, "{artist}"));

I'll get in touch with dt and see if I can get him to add it to the official version.
