Playng Now in Yahoo Messenger and MSN and/or in clipboard

Post by SerenaMorte »

When I talk with friends in my preferred IM (Yahoo, MSN and Soulseek) I like that my buddy knows what I'm listening to. I will like to have the possibility to send to the IM the track currently playing with a shortkey (CTRL-M or better with personalized hotkey).

Some messengers have some of this functionality thru plugins with WinAmp songs. MSGplus on the MSN messenger is such an example and Trillian Pro also has a plugin to do this with WinAmp.
I have not been able to get it to send the MM song that is being played. I don't know what is missing here to get the MM song.

LowLander,

Can you give some URL so I can test it. Maybe I can get to work.

MSGPlus! is a big MSN plugin with many tools, http://www.msgplus.net/.

Trillian is a messenger that connects to many messengers, plugin is here http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/download ... ponentID=6

I actually have not used either one to check how they work with winamp as I never really use winamp.

Good luck!

I have tested MSN sound plugins and found this
Download Messenger Plus! at http://www.msgplus.net/ after installing MSN Plus! DownLoad BK's Winamp Extension plugin from
http://www.msgplus.net/pluginsdb/down/p ... file&id=63

Note: MSN plus add predefined text fields, so I set quick key set 4 to:
"I'm listening song: (!XWASAR) - (!XWAST)" (Without quotes) and when I Use Shortcut alt-4 it sends my curently palying song from MM. One Note you will need to have corectly set ID3 Tags in playing file so the info is correct e.i. Sync. tag with lib.
Happy monkeying

Trilliwamp works perfectly with MediaMonkey and Trillian (Pro)

/song works and it can set it as the away-msg.
