Any chance of supporting VideoLanClient (which is both video and audio player).

I don't have such plans at the moment.

On the off-chance, I checked out the VLC beta version, and they are currently in the process of supporting MSN. In trying their version, I noticed a feature with AMIP:

In MSN Messenger, if you click on the title of the track playing, it takes you to a page where you can search for the album.

With the AMIP formatting of the track / title, the MSN search gets confused (I think) because of the formatting, for example:

Chambao - Mi Primo Juan [ Pokito a Poko ]

If the now playing message were in the format: "track - artist", for example:

Mi Primo Juan - Chambao

The MSN search appears to understand the formatting correctly.

Thanks for all your help, and for an excellent tool!

Regards,

Steve C

Read docs, in AMIP you can switch back to default formatting if you want this feature.
