Foobar2000: How to notify the played song to Live Messenger

Display the song title in Windows Live Messenger

The Foobar2000 player is really simply but not simple. Only one feature was missing, the display of the played song within the Live Messenger.

So, one extra plug-in has been developed for this ultra mandatory feature ;) .

Firstly download the ‘foo_wlm‘ plug-in. The installation is a piece of cake.

1. Just press CTRL-P to pop-up the ‘Preferences’ panel, and click on ‘Components’.

2. Click the ‘Install…’ button and browse to the previously downloaded foo_wlm.zip file.

3. Once opened, apply the changes

4. You ‘ll be prompted to restart your foobar2000 application

5. Once restarted, a new menu ‘Tools/WLM’ appear in the ‘Preferences’ screen.

6. Check you have ‘Enable Now Playing’ ticked. And what’s all!
