Using Windows Live Messenger plugin combined with mp3cue

[CrillzHolmes]

Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to combine these 2 plugins.

When I listen to livesets, mixes or albums, I want the msn plugin to show the tracks inside the sets (But only if mp3cue is open and has a .cue file with the mp3).
So that it just dont show the set im listening to.

Is this possible?

Hi

Yes, it's possible if you use CuePlayer. CuePlayer is another cue sheet reading plug-in that creates playlist entries. I guess that'd work with any "Now Playing" Plug-in.

Give it a try.

yes, I confirm what Twilightseer said :up:

Winamp 5.35 and latest CUE Player (http://etono.cplusplus.se/cueplay/downloads.xml) scrobble good together ;)

PS: this Audioscrobbler plugin (http://nunzioweb.com/daz/AudioScrobbler/) is better (courtesy of DrO (http://www.nunzioweb.com/daz))

bye ;)

Thanks guys ;) Just about to test it on mp3cue see if it works.

[CrillzHolmes]

It doesn't work for me, not with mp3cue, neither CUE Player, cue player just dont open a window of the program with winamp and for mp3cue, nothing happens.

Also CUE Player, when i go to plugins, it wont allow me to change plugin for mp3, but i dont need to do that? It just goes back to "669" .. whatever that is.

[CrillzHolmes]

I need Media Library plugin installed or something? But I think I do have that..

CUE Player is supposed to show a playlist of its own with the tracks? my cue works perfect with mp3cue.. It shows the tracks with a added winamp window.

[flocksoft]

MP3Cue opens a new window with the tracks found in the .cue files; CUE Player use Winamp Playlist and Winamp Media Library to add the tracks found in the .cue files

PS: CUE Player requires not-malformed .cue file; in particular the FILE field

...
CATALOG 7599272390200
PERFORMER "Neil Young"
TITLE "Harvest"
FILE "Neil Young - Harvest.flac" FLAC
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Out On The Weekend"
...

so be careful to the pointed audio filename and the extension

[CrillzHolmes]

Okay,And what is a not malformed .cue file?
So, I wont see any of the tracks from the set with cue player..? Ty

[CrillzHolmes]

And no I dont seem to have winamp media library installed then.

I dont understand anything of what your trying to say.. sorry, filenames? mine should be correct, and whats the CATALOG 7599272390200 for? Sorry if I might be a pain in the ass. But your talking high-tech here.

is a .cue file without errors!

examples of errors (in red):

(referenced audio file: Neil Young - Harvest.flac)

example 1:
...
CATALOG 7599272390200
PERFORMER "Neil Young"
TITLE "Harvest"
FILE "Neil Young - 01 - Harvest.flac" FLAC
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Out On The Weekend"
...


example 2:
...
CATALOG 7599272390200
PERFORMER "Neil Young"
TITLE "Harvest"
FILE "Neil Young - Harvest.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO

the .mp3 file is called exactly Tiesto Live @ Heineken Music Hall 03-12-05.mp3?

if not,please rename the file to this name

now, you have to open DIRECTLY the .cue file in Winamp, not the referenced audio file

[CrillzHolmes]

yeah oh the filename was actually called Tiësto @ Heineken Music Hall – Amsterdam, Netherlands (03-12-2005)

And yeah it works now, adding the .cue to winamp, however, quite annoying that it splits all the tracks.

[CrillzHolmes]

The problem now is - it looks this:

Now with this - I can't see the other livesets that I may wanna listen to. :P Well they are miles away after all these tracks.

I'd so much rather have it like this:

So much better with mp3cue :P

??? I don't understand!!!
the purpose of cue plugins is to split all the tracks :eek:

Maybe you understand now, I edited my post, I just like the idea of another window for what im listening to. The tracks are already splitted on mp3cue as you can see.

:P!

I guess it would be a luxury for a plugin to understand that it should play the track on mp3cue instead of the liveset :P

my suggestion is to install the Media Library conponent of Winamp if missing, add a new Smart View with this query:

filename HAS ".cue"

in the picture the result:

[CrillzHolmes]

ahh, I found Media Library, I had it, I've never used it.

No idea how to add with "Smart View"
Dont even know the basics.

[CrillzHolmes]

Oh and does Media Library add .m3u files when I add files to the library? I think it just did.. :S

[CrillzHolmes]

Maybe I should stop asking so many questions :P

click on the node called Local Media in Media Library and press INS on the keyboard to quick add a new smart wiev, click on the + button and add the criteria (it's very easy)

[CrillzHolmes]

Ahh thanks thats really useful, this library is much better than windows media player :P
