Now Playing is a Windows Live Writer Plugin that inserts the currently playing title into your blog posts.Now Playing comes with support for Winamp, iTunes, Foobar2000, XMPlay and Windows Media Player. Now Playing itself can host other plugins that query services like Amazon, Last.fm and Music-Map to extend the metadata of a track. This information can then be used to create a template as the base for the content that will be inserted in the blog post.Developers can extend Now Playing by writing custom plugins for other media players and services to enrich the metadata even more.

Fantastic media player controller with album art (11/15/2007)
Supports WMP, WinAmp, iTunes, FooBar 2000, AudioScrobbler, Quintessential Player, and Media Monkey. Displays album art. On mouseover, displays current track info and controls. Has a close iTunes button so no more annoying popup about the scripting interface when closing. Only feature I'd want added is to make it a shortcut to open the player when closed.

Works with Vista x64 and WMP11 (5/21/2008)
The basics work with Vista x64 and WMP11. First I had to install the prerequisite listed on your blog, and then I had to go into WMP and explicitly enable those plugins. Amazon Associates integration does not seem to work h owever. A network sniff reveals that a product search was successful, but the plugin doesn't generate the html for it. To the developer: I am willing to debug if you need help.

Don't like it
doesn't support current WMP (3/20/2008)
does not support windows media player 10 or 11 as the now playing blog plugin doesn't. So pointless if you use the main plyer.

Works Great! (8/20/2007)
I'm a fan of Winamp and I've lost my old Winamp skin that displayed the album art and this is a perfect replacement with enhanced features. The only thing I don't like is I cant remove the text when I scroll over the album art. I might be picky but thatt's just bugs me =/
