Is there any way to show what’s currently playing in Winamp on my Microsoft Start status?
If anyone knows how to pull that off, please hit me up with the details.

In short, no.
Right now, there's only a plugin available for Microsoft Start via Windows Media Player if you want to get something like that working.

Of course you can

Just use one of those Winamp plugins http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/144872

Or—if you want to get a little more technical—you could just run some Microsoft Start scripts http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/v...c-Now-Playing/

Man, you're really missing the mark here... 👎

It totally works—you can do it with Media Player, Winamp, Apple Music.... hell, pretty much any player out there.

My mistake... I had no idea there was even a version for Winamp......
Go ahead and kill me......

Besides, I don't touch Microsoft Start (it’s easily the most useless thing Microsoft has ever released... basically just a magnet for malware).

Apologies if I missed something there.

And you, crimsonlynx75... maybe try dialing back the intensity just a touch.

alright, so I just grabbed this Microsoft Start plus script, but now I'm totally lost on how to actually input my own custom text... could someone walk me through what I need to do here? haha

If you just right-click there by the personal messages to show what I'm currently playing, or—honestly, why make it complicated?—you can just go straight into the tools menu

John, maybe take a closer look at this—this thread actually dates all the way back to 2008 😁

Haha, he’s gotten way too comfortable. It’s been ages now, and this guy actually has the nerve to sit there and complain that he’s missing a plugin!
