"Now playing" information in MSN / Live messenger
I have this feature in foobar2000 and I think it's a huge disadvantage when using Songbird :( LiveTweeter doesn't install because it's too old and I haven't found any other makeshift way to make it work.
This sould really be an out-of-the-box compability in Songbird!

Inappropriate?G'day,
Actually, it probably wouldn't be the best idea for it to be a core part of songbird because:
1) There are MANY IM clients out there, and each OS has their own. Therefore, only some could be well supported
2) New versions of IM clients sometimes breaks compatibility with such functionality
It makes sense for Apple or Microsoft to do this (because they code both products), however, we have no idea what Apple, Microsoft or even linux are doing with their products sometimes. Sometimes you only know compatibility broke because getsatisfaction is full of complaints..
That's just my personal opinion.. In terms of LiveTweeter, I spoke to Geekshadow yesterday, and he said his working on upgrading all of his plugins. Geekshadow is hardcore, so I'd expect a functional extension to be available VERY soon anyway :)
Another alternative is to use LastFM to broadcast what you are playing. Its a lot more detailed, and is supported by Songbird.

Inappropriate?G'day,
I have suggested in bugzilla that a Songbird Upgrade Advisor is added to songbird in the future, to allow users to identify exactly what will and wont work. I feel that its a bit difficult to know exactly what extensions aren't currently working out of the box in the new version
If you wish, you can add yourself as CC as part of the suggestion ;)
