Hello, here I come with an GREAT idea, and I mean great. It will improve the comunity so much more.

So heres the idea.

IF you guys could combine the music program named "Spotify" (https://www.spotify.com/)
With windows live messenger.
And heres how.

You all know the thing when someone listens to music, it shows up what he/she is listening to:


And when you click on that link, you end up in the search program named "Bing"
My idea is that when you click on what someone is listening to, it would show up in the program spotify. (If the song is playing on spotify by the person)
That idea will improve the comunity so greatly, Ive talked to many friends about it, and my "coder" friends and they all aprove of it making msn bigger and used more.
I would greatly be thankful if my idea/dream will come up true. And so does many others.

The only thing is, if we here in msn live! plus would have spare time to code this kind of idea, I would be more then gladly to help with the work. It maybe will be hard, and I don't really have much experiance about scripting for msn live! Plus, but with help I could learn easily. Add my msn if your intrested and have a mind of helping me or starting up yourself and leting me help you out.

Welcome to the forums.

Firstly it is Messenger Plus! Live not MSN Plus! Live. Secondly the chances of someone spending the time on something like this is limited. There are limitations in the scripting engine, such as the inability of detecting when you click on a contacts song they are listening to. It is a nice idea but don't count on the implementation of it.

Cheers.

Eh?  It's Messenger Plus! Live, not MSN Live! Plus. 

Everything has a chance, but still. If it's limited to get contact's info, you can always create a script that comes with it that makes you send your information to the users who has this script. Everything is possible but this is REALLY going to take some time.

Let me get your request straight because it didn't make much sense at all.

You want to be able to click a song in your contact's list and have it stream the song in Spotify?

Unless Spotify has a documented API the latter would be difficult and the first part cannot be done in a script as we do not have access to these events.

Well, I've seen many scripts that gets your information and sends it by msn chat, but if you have that kind of script and use the idea of it you should be enable to share it thru your private message to.

Ok you are really confusing me now based on what you originally posted about.

Can you please post again what you want to accomplish with this script?

Ok look, the one you wrote newly, yes that is what I mean. To create a script that will forward the song you'r lisstening to, to make  spotify open.

It is not possible for you to click on the song displayed in someone's personal message and have it play in Spotify.

Scripts are not made aware of any mouse click events in the contact list or chat window. Plain and simple.

Is that so?. Well sorry mate but im not so inteligent about live scripts, btw, is there anyway you could send your information by msn click on a /command that reads your info on spotify search the ID and gets it and sends it? Or doesen't these scripts have the priority to reach outside msn?
