MSN 7 – “Listening to” feature works with iTunes!

Just downloaded the final release of MSN 7 and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the “What I’m Listening to” feature even works with iTunes – cool! In addition there’s now an option to displays the contact’s images in the main list, so I’ve got another chance to spot the contact I’m looking for – the majority of which generally have meaningless sign in names!

Update: if you’re having trouble getting this working, check out http://pluralsight.com/blogs/craig/archive/2005/04/27/7783.aspx – you basically need to go to Tools / Options / General and check “Open Messenger main window when Messenger starts.”

    apparently starting MSN7 after you start iTunes has made the feature work for some people

    I FINALLY FOUND A WAY
    It”s quite easy. First, you set all your music types to be listened to with iTunes. I think that it can work even if you don”t do that.
    Then, you do control + alt + Del to get your task manager. Then you look for wmplayer, windows media player, however your computer shows it as, and you end it”s task. Works like a charm with me~

    Stick on Task Manager (ctrl+alt+delete, then select task manager, or however your computer works it) go into Processes or something and find wmplayer, end it, then iTunes will work to show what yer listenin 2 on MSN!!!
