Is there any way I can configure my msn to show what music I'm listening
when it's played in different player than Windows Media Player?

Nope, I'm not listening through WMP because the player is a bit retarded.
Will post pictures tommorow to see.0 -
VLC has an MSN now playing tick box in Preferences >> Interface >> Control Interface.0

I've downloaded a Script which shows what music you're listening in these players:
- Guess Player
- iTunes
- jetAudio
- Lastfm
- MediaMonkey
- Winamp
- WMP
I've need it for jetAudio and iTunes and it works.
Cheers all.0 -
you wanna use a decent media player, young man.0

I use Itunes and it automatically does it...0

nowt wrong with media player for i-tunes for playback - especially if you have several gigs of music to organise as well.
VLC is a massively over-rated piece of crap, I've never had any luck getting it to perform well, on Windows or Linux.0 -

Good job they have hideously bloated idiot software like iTunes for clueless moon based folk then, eh.0 -
Actually, I'm not a fan of i-tunes either, and won't let it near any of my machines, but still, it is fine for organising a large music library, and it does a great job for a great many people.0

If I'm going in that direction I'd install Songbird with the now working iPod device add on. But I wouldn't squirt on Apple proprietary formats and software personally anyway. And if you look around even hardened iTunes users complain about the bloat with many wishing for, or seeking alternatives.
I flip between Media Player Classic, VLC and the MPlayer front end for Windows, SMPlayer (without translations installed). Any of those are rock solid, versatile, light weight and do a job. I don't get how you manage to struggle with VLC though.0 -
Songbird is great, but a little buggy for me right now.
Also, I think the interface is too cluttered.
VLC has next to no management of a music library, and struggles to keep sync between video and audio. It's performance - in my experience - leaves a lot to be desired, even on my core 2 quad. Bare in mind that media player, and a few others will use an Nvidia Geforce to decode video.
I stick with windows media player, or Media center in "my" room
Nothing wrong with them. Fast, stable, and user friendly.
I buy my mp3s off Amazon, which work with any media player anyhow, but most of my music comes from CDs.0 -
I keep checking back on Songbird and it's getting there slowly 1.2.0 has a ton of the old bugs ironed out and at least you can skin it. Use it in mini player mode and there's definitely no clutter.
VLC was never intended to have extensive music library management it wasn't what it was about, but even that's in the pipeline. And it doesn't struggle any worse at losing sync on crappy original transcoding than any other player. For speed and convenience that's why I use multiple media players to offset that problem rather than redoing everything myself to get stuff to play in one player. But for most general content the main players work fine. And I'm running a quad core chip too and VLC is a well behaved, well written app - Windows MP has a head start anyway being specifically tailored to the OS to minimise overhead, so comparisons will be slightly distorted.0 -
I want you to know that I don't need some high quality player because the speakers
are just so good that even the best sound will turn into a piece of crap.
They are similar to this ones. But don't worry I have a better device for a high quality sound.
And another thing. I use mostly jetAudio because I like the look of it in toolbar mode,
and WMP is kinda retarded, most buttons don't work. Here how it looks:
PS. I always choose better look over functionality.0 -
holy crap, something looks seriously wrong with your media player.
it looks like some bizzare hybrid between WMP 9 and 11?!? WTF?0 -

Btw, eventhough I knew the K750i had a 2MP camera, memory card slot, FM radio and
other bits more then the D520 at the same price, I still choose the sliding phone then the
brick of Sony.
Look first.0 -

Completely wrong on both counts. 1) No-one's arguing and 2) people do give a "fark" . Because people are the first to complain when something they use every day doesn't do "something" or doesn't have 'this feature' or 'that feature'.
And anybody who thinks they're cool deserves the p!ss being taken out of them for the rest of time.0 -

And at the moment I'm starting to use more and more Samsung Multimedia Manager. Good stuff.0 -
It wasn't aimed directly at you Xtreem it was more of a joke about how women view things when it comes to practical / functional versus eye candy and pretty. It made me laugh when you said "PS. I always choose better look over functionality." that's all. yeehaamcgee just followed on that's all.0

yup, not aimed at anyone directly, just following on in the theme!0
