Has anyone got it? 'Cos I'm having rouble with it, the Media-Player plugin where it shows the song info isnt working properly. It shows up fine to me, but to my contacts, all they see is the title, and vice versa, all i see is the title of their song.

e.g. Instead of seeing Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin, my contacts only see - Stairway to heaven.

Can anyone offer any advice? :help:

P.S does this belong here? lol sorry if it doesnt

Edit the ID3 tag of your Mp3 correctly. I mean, for example in Winamp, select the mp3 -or when you are playing it- press Alt-3 combination to bring up the ID3Tag edit box. Fill in "Artist" field as Led Zeppelin and the "Track" field as Stairway to Heaven and check if it displays properly.

By the way, if you want to use Winamp while you want to show off what you're listening to on MSN, try this (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=144915&download=yes&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.nullsoft.com%2Fcustomize%2Fcomponent%2F2005%2F4%2F26%2FP%2Fmoo_-_gen_msn.exe) tiny plug-in. It is bug-free and absolutely working ~:)

What kind of extra features does the Beta offer ?

Is it worth downloading, or is sticking with the most up to date version fine - or better.

Hmm, what about switching to Winamp and using the plugin I mentioned above ? When it is about handling mp3s, Winamp is far beter than anyone in the market ? At least, I'd stay away from Windows Media Player for my mp3's -I'd use any other mp3 player.
