I didn't realise the new MSN shows you what VIDEOS you're playing, as well as what song you're listening to :lol

Just a heads up incase anyone else didn't notice this...

 

[sprsk]

ahahaha does it work in all players

actually, i was just testing it out and it doesnt do it for me.

 

[MrPing1000]

I actually thought of this very quickly. Thus msn shows things played on foobar and nothing else. And why wasn't I on msn when this happened so i could laugh at u

ps :lol

 

[alejob]

:lol

I figured that much. I don't use that feature anyway.

For some reason it dosen't work all the time, just when I'm watching something everyone else dosen't need to know about obviously.

 

[LakeEarth]

Haha, Backdoor Sluts 9 eh?

And it only works for Windows Media Player, but there is a way to make it work for Winamp, though I don't know how. Luckily I realized that it showed what movies you're watching when watching an innocent South Park episode.

[rastex]

[Suerte]

:lol

I have the plugin for Winamp that lets you use it with MSN 7.0 by the way, PM me if you want it.

Edit: Meh beaten, slow connection, downloading more videos to show off on MSN :lol

 

[Alcibiades]

can someone explain to me what's going on?

do you mean others on MSN can see what you are playing/listening to?

They know the title of what your playing.

 

[MrPing1000]

aww u had to go ruin it

 

[Alcibiades]

They know the title of what your playing.

like if I'm chatting on MSN messanger I'll be able to see what the people I'm chatting w/ are playing?

 

[MrPing1000]

yes

 

[radioheadrule83]

Yeah, you can turn it off though. SO if they've got it turned off, you won't see what they're playing. If you've got it off, they can't see what you're playing.

I always have it on when I'm listening to music, it seems to be a great convo starter...

also, the new "ink" mode is fantastic with a stylus/tablet. You can copy each others pictures by dragging them to the drawing area btw. The integration with spaces.msn.com is nice too. Finally made me start a blog. You can get an edit button for your browser to let you post in less-restricted HTML.

Only thing I don't like in MSN 7 is the wink things. Horrific.

 

[Kon Tiki]

One more reason not to use WMP. Not that there was a reason to use it in the first place.

 

[rastex]

aww u had to go ruin it

Well you guys laughing didn't make sense anyway

Wow, that's lame.

 

[radioheadrule83]

[Cerebral Palsy]

I'm going to have some fun with this. *renames files*

 

[Socreges]

WOAH WOAH WOAH..... woah...

I've read the thread and I understand the consequences. But I can't find where to turn it on/off, or see if I've had it on/off.

Oh, I hope I've had it off.

Really, if it's been on... that could explain... certain things....

 

[Tenacious-V]

Okay, I've installed the winamp MSN plugin, how do I go about making MSN see my Winamp songs?

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Haha, your avatar matches your post quite well. It's times like this that make me glad I like sticking with old technology (fuck you new WInamp).

 

[Tenacious-V]

In the main messenger window, below your name there is a personal message box that has a dropdown menu.

 

[shuri]

:O :O :O :O

It doesnt do it for me. I have no idea where i turned it off. OH WAIT. It actually gives me a message when it changes the name. It only seems to work with mp3s.

edit: doesnt work for me with avi and mpegs. Hmm
