O.P. Notification "Now playing" doesnt work
Hello,
this feature works perfect after a fresh installtion, but ofter some times, i didn't change anything in my settings!, i get no popup any longer when i change my own music. If i deinstalled /install Messenger Plus Live it works for a while but after some times, no popup any longer.

if you are using windows media player go to:

Tools > Plugins > Windows live messenger Music Plugin

If Windows Media Player was not closd properly (e.g. crashed and ended itself, Ctrl+Alt+Deleted, etc etc) it will disable all of the plugins on the next load. This means it no longer communicates with Messenger about what music is playing. Every time WMP is not properly closed, you need to re-enable the plugin.

Also, the popups only appear for the first music Item you start playing, if you have a playlist or switch to another file mid-playing, it won't popup - that's not Messenger Plus!'s fault, that was hardcoded by Microsoft.
