Got SongBird? Now that little birdie will sing to WLW.

So keeping with the theme that I'm a horrible coder, I created a SongBird extension that will put all of your track information in the same place that iTunes and Windows Media Player do. So needless to say, this is pretty much a Windows only extension. Now all of you that are converting over to SongBird can still get the Currently Listening love in your Windows Live Writer.

You can snag the xpi here: http://jtsquared.net/songbird/media_blog.xpi

Since there really isn't an UI for this and knowing that some people still want screenies, here is one of the Extensions dialog showing the extension (Media Blogger) is actually installed.

The add-ons dialog showing that the extension is actually installed.

As with all my little coding tidbits you can send me any issues at soulposition at msn dizzot com or leave a comment here.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't give a huge shout out to the guys that came up with the Audioscrobbler plugin. With out that as an example I would have never completed this plugin. Huge thanks!

I'm currently listening to Admit It!!! by Say Anything from the album ...Is A Real Boy (With Bonus Disc)

Totally awesome ;)
thanks!

Now hopefully the Live Messenger team will pick it up for "now listening" as well (or the Gaim folks) and everyone will know how bad my taste in music is!
