How to

This plugin updates periodically your msn nick with the current song title.

The plugin is disabled by default go to preferences / general plugins / s3ven nick changer and clik on start. You can only make change when plugin is stopped.

Warning : msn nick, with recent version, can only be changed by simulating the opening of options screen so the plugin won't update your nick if msn is minimized in icon near the clock or if you are in another msn option screen.

- Nick format = here set your nick format. Put a %s where you want the song title to appear.

ex : if you set it with mynick listening to %s and winamp is playing the song MyMp3
the resulting msn nick will be mynick is listening to MyMp3

- Case-sensitive msn option window title = If your MSN Option window opens but nothing happens after, enter the window's caption in this box.
Ex. if you got Deutch msn you have to enter Optionen in this box .

- Restore nick when no song is played = the first time the plugin start (or winamp start), your last msn nick is saved and stored in memory. When you stop a song, this nick nick is restored.

Instead of setting a format in this screen you can set it on %s and set the format in Preferences/Title. Simply check "use advanced title formatting when possible" and enter a format in "Advanced title display format".

exemple :
[mynick is listening to %title% by %artist% on album %album%]
