"Now Playing" script for MSN

[drfsupercenter]

Does anyone know if I can get some sort of script that puts the "now playing" data from Winamp as my MSN status? I know Windows Media Player and iTunes can do it, but both of those programs suck...

I know GTSDll can take the data from Winamp and display it on IRC, but somehow it isn't able to do the same for MSN. The only time I tried a script like that, it crashed my Winamp every time I opened it.

Problem is I use Winamp 2.91 (new is not always better in this case...), and that needs Winamp 5.

Always a catch isn't there? I use Winamp 5 and like it a lot better than those old cPro builds. To each his own.

So there's no script for 2.91?

always.... and user preferences, now i dont know why media player sucks, cause it plays my mp3's quite well. i never liked installing lot of stuff on my pc.

Windows Media Player is nice for music, because of the visualizations... but it can also be annoying because it sucks up CPU showing said visualizations. And for videos it sucks too... I use either VLC or MPC depending on the type.

Winamp is nicer because it's pretty light CPU-wise, and it can be controlled by other applications like GTSDll.
