Today this site officially went "Live", and users are now being redirected here from the various sub-websites which used to serve these projects. By keeping all our projects in one place, we hope to be able to better maintain the overall quality of content. In line with this we have also launched a new help site, built on MediaWiki software it will - over time - build up into a repository of help, support and documentation for VBE Software projects.

A quick Bug-Fix, many people seemed to be getting peculiar messages about not being able to establish communications with MSN Messenger. The fix for this (as now listed on the requirements page) is that Windows Messenger must be installed on the computer. (iTunes2MSN actually connects to Windows Messenger, even though you are assumed to be running MSN Messenger (don't ask me why, thats just how it works -_-).

Another Bug-Fix, for weird errors about paths not existing, try turning off the Make Song Info feature. Thanks to Ben for help sorting that out

I guess I'd been a bit ignorant lately of just how much attention this project is getting, starting as a proof-of-concept project (as I was stunned it didn't already exist) the project is really taking off (certainly compared to anything I've done before). My log analysis has been broken on this server for some time, and in fixing it today i saw just how many sites are linking to the project, and just how many hits and downloads we are getting every week.

So what's been going on? You promised Windows Media Player support?
Yes! I can confirm we now have Windows Media Player cracked, its not nice yet but it works. We also have WinAmp in the pipeline, plus a whole bunch of new features. All of this will be coming out under a new name (Since iTunes2MSN will be a bit silly, when we support more than MSN, and more than iTunes..). As yet the name is undecided, but it will probably be along the lines of Music2Display. Suggestions welcome!

iTunes 7: Not only is iTunes2MSN still compatible with this new version of iTunes, but Apple have kindly built the perfect feature - automatically getting album art! No more googling for album covers, iTunes does it for you! Thank you Apple!

We've just moved to a new host in line with the rest of my sites and projects. If you're one of the many webmasters linking to me, please can you update your links. You are being redirected, but eventually the old server will be going offline.

A few big fixes for you. Both for the same error message... 403, Class Does Not Support Automation. If you are running Windows 2000 you will need to revert to MSN 7.0, since Windows 2000 is not officially compatible with MSN 7.5. If you are running Windows XP, you may need to download the latest version of Windows Messenger (don't use it, just install it...) You can get it here.

New version of iTunes2MSN finally released! Version 1.1.0 is now out, with a selection of (mostly behind the scenes) improvements which should help stability. Thanks to Ben (a different Ben to my last post!) who is now a member of the iTunes2MSN team for fixing numerous little bugs and being full of ideas! Currently he's working on .. wait for it... Windows Media Player support!

Version 1.0 of iTunes2MSN is at last ready for release. Thanks for all your support on the forums, I'm starting to develop a website to launch this project from.
