Beware, mortal, cause Saro is gonna enlighten you...
A couple evenings ago I clicked through IcedEarth's What are you listening to right now? thread and got the impression that some people like letting everyone else know what they're listening to ^^. Then I had the idea that maybe I could make a small feature for TL.net that would automatically be updated with what song you're currently playing.
Here are the instructions for Winamp and iTunes. If you use a different program, but you've seen other websites that use it for a similar feature, then let me know. If there's enough requests, I'll try working on it.
Instructions for Winamp:
- Download [direct link] the "Do Something" Winamp plugin from oddsock.org
- Run the program to install it
- Open Winamp (or restart it if it was already open)
- Go to Options->Preferences (Control-P) and click on "General Purpose" under the Plug-ins section
- DoSomething Plugin will probably be towards the top of the list, double click it
- Uncheck the "Disable Plugin" box, then click on the "Action" pulldown menu and select "Submit A URL"
- Copy and paste the following into the URL box:
http\:\//www\.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/music.php?song=%%URL_CURRENTSONG%%
- Then make sure to click the "Add ->" button near the bottom right corner
- Then click the "OK" button at top right
- Now close the Preferences and you're all done!
If you ever want to disable the feature, just go back to the Preferences in Winamp, go to the DoSomething plugin, and check that "Disable Plugin" box.
Instructions for iTunes:
- Download cURL [direct link] and unzip the program
- Create a new folder such as "c:\\amipweb\\" and put the curl.exe file in there
- Now Download AMIP [direct link] and unzip the plugin for iTunes (4.5+)
- Quit iTunes if you have it open, then double click "AMIP...iTunes.exe" to install
- After it's done, open iTunes and press Control+Alt+Shift+O to get to the plugin configuration
- At the bottom of the window under "output string & presets" click the 2 button and copy/paste the following into the box below
/exec:\(c:\\amipweb\\curl.exe) -G -d "song=&func_ue(%name)" http\:\//www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/music.php
or
/exec:\(c:\\amipweb\\curl.exe) -G -d "song=&func_ue(%1)%20-%20&func_ue(%2)" http\:\//www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/music.php
(If you have problems with one try the other) - You can uncheck the "MAIL integration" box if you want, then click "OK" at the top right
- Now it should be all good to go (hopefully)
Now your player will automatically update TL.net whenever the next song is played (Mp3, from a CD, even Internet Radio), while you're active on the website. The current song you're playing will show up below your quote. If a new song hasn't been played in the last 15 minutes, it will go away by itself. Now if you see someone playing something you're interested in too, you can send them a PM.
For those of you who could care less what other people are listening to, and don't want to be bothered seeing it, you have an option in the profile page where you can disable them from being shown.
Anyway, hope you guys like it!Last edit: 2004-08-29 12:40:34 |
