This is version 0.3 of the plug-in. The source code is same as version 0.2 . Only some minor changes on the linker options and is tested with foobar2000 0.9.5.
This plug-in is for the foobar2000 music player. It sends the song information to MSN Messenger for display.
The C++ source code is available here. You will need to download the foobar2000 SDK in order to build it. The binary DLL is also available (compiled with Visual C++ 2005 Express).
Save the DLL under the components directory of foobar2000 and restart the program. There will be a new item added under the Playback menu. Select the format of info that you want to show on MSN. Also remember to turn on the "Show what I'm listening to" feature on your MSN Messenger.

- Is there any way you can go Artist - Title? The whole Title - Artist thing REALLY bugs me :P
- Sure~ Will add this option back to the plugin in the next release. In fact, the first version of the plugin used the "Artist - Title" format as I also found it more natural. But later in order to follow the specification, I changed it to "Title - Artist" (which is also the format send by Windows Media Player to MSN Messenger).
- Dude, could you possibly upload the dll file here, I can't seem to do it myself. :S
