Announcements

Bèta version of the plugin online: Users can now download the new bèta version of Moodsongs, the new plugin that will replace the four old ones. (This name might be the final name, however this is yet unsure.) Please try reporting any bugs or errors that you find. Enjoy! (14.06.2009)
One plugin instead of four: To make it easier to update the plugin(s) in the future, the next versions will be bundled in one plugin. A new name for the plugin is coming with this. If you have an idea for the new name, feel free to send me an email. The new plugin will also have a few extra features, including album art as your Skype picture for Winamp and iTunes! (07.06.2009)
Website movement: The website will soon be moved since google pages is no longer supporterd by google. The new page will be part of googlesites. I am not yet sure about the exact location, but I will post it on the Skype extras comments pages and update the link there as soon as the movement takes place. This page will redirect automatically to the new site as well! (30.05.2009)
Coming soon: MediaMonkey Info - History: Support of MediaMonkey has been requested by a user. The Winamp version of the plugin detects MediaMonkey, but gets the info wrong. (This will be fixed in the next version.) Therefore, a new plugin will be introduced supporting MediaMonkey. The release might take a while since it is still very new and in it's testing stage. If you'd like to try it out, feel free to contact me on Skype! (20.03.2009)
The new plugins are now on the Skype website: The new versions of Windows Media Player Info - History and iTunes Info - History, as well as the first official release of Winamp Info - History, are now available on the Skype website! The links above have been updated, everyone is advised to update as soon as possible! (20.02.2009)
Skype 4.0 has been released. The new plugins will be available soon: As people start updating their Skype version to 4.0, also the plugins need refreshment. Today the new versions have been uploaded. They will be on the Skype extras website soon, so make sure you keep an eye on it. The new links will be on my website as soon as they are available. Feel free to check the update notes to see what you can expect from the new versions! (08.02.2009)
Coming soon: Winamp Info - History: Support of Winamp has been requested a couple of times, so soon also Winamp users will be able to show their music in their Skype mood message in a very easy way! The new plugin will probably be released together with the new versions of Windows Media Player Info - History and iTunes Info - History, as soon as Skype 4.0 is out of the bèta testing stage! (30.01.2009)
Functionality with older Skype versions will be preserved: The next version of the plugins will add support for Skype 4.0, however, this does not mean that the old version will no longer be supported. Users who prefer Skype 3.8 will still be able to use the plugin! (30.01.2009)
