MSN Messenger 7- "Listening to" feature

Cool! I just noticed that the latest beta of MSN Messenger version 7; which sports a feature which adds the current playing song to your message window when chatting; also supports iTunes!

That feature just doesn't work for me. I have v7.0.0777 and Media Player v10.00.00.3700. I can turn on the option, but it just doesn't work.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Get the Toaster plugin for Winamp and it will work with Winamp.

That said, I'm ahving the exact same problem as Steve Dinn.

Make sure you have the MSN Messenger plug-in turned on in Windows Media Player.

What you need to do is open windows media player and go to tools/plugins and make sure the tick is on for "MSN Messenger music plugin"
You need to have version 10 at least and then make sure it is activated in MSN Messenger in personal "show song information" and it will work!!

i have windows media player v 10.00.00.3646, MSN Messenger v 7.0.0777, and Itunes v 4.8.0.32 , The Plugin is turned on in wmp and msn and it wont work. The only other thing i can see the problem being is being a limited account on Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2. Might this be the cause?
