hello,
i use winamp 5.52.
and the most of the time when i play a song, windows live messegner 8 doesn't show the first letter of the artist, and the last i guess 3 letters... (like the printscreen on top).
i tried allmost all the winamp msn plugins, but the problem isn't going away.
the weird thing is that sometimes msn does show the whole artist and title...
is there anyone who can help me with this?

Contact the author of the plugin being used. Winamp has no native MSN support.

but that is the problem, winamp does this with all the plugins i tried. so i think the problem isn't the plugin.

winamp has no knowledge about anything to do with msn's now-playing feature. and if all are failing then it's more likely a failure in compatability between the client you're using and the api(s) that the plugins are trying to use to pass on the information. this has been the case a number of times when MS have changed the apis that they provide for the now-playing feature - which has always required the 3rd party plugin devs to make changes in their code. however if they were all broken, then i'd have expected to have seen more posts like yours but from a quick check that doesn't seem to be the case for the last few months

Contact the plugin developers.

Now what should I do? Delete all the MSN plugins for incompatebility?
