| | Windows Media Player and Live Messenger issue One thing I don't like about Live Messenger is that you have to have Windows Media Player installed to use MusicMix or Now Playing (despite having a third party winamp plugin). I went out of my way to remove Windows Media Player because it screwed up my music library's high res album art. Since there's no installer for Vista, I won't be able to use the MusicMix or Now Playing features. Could you sort this out? |

| | Re: Windows Media Player and Live Messenger issue Greetings, I've written my own applications which make use of the now playing functionality and I don't really see any particular reason why it wouldn't work sans Media Player installed (especially given some versions of Windows don't even have it). For a proper repro scenario, could you tell me how you removed it specifically? I already tried just deleting the folder and it didn't break the functionality as it continued to work in my own code, a winamp plugin and iTunes. MusicMix is a lost case though since it uses the WMP COM control. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Moogleboi" <Moogleboi@xxxxxx> wrote in message news ED05A26-9BA7-4331-BEA5-AF0839C8F442@xxxxxxQuote: > One thing I don't like about Live Messenger is that you have to have Windows > Media Player installed to use MusicMix or Now Playing (despite having a third > party winamp plugin). > > I went out of my way to remove Windows Media Player because it screwed up my > music library's high res album art.
