Fix for Windows Media Player Plugin Error (08/08/2007)
Anyone experiencing Windows Media Player plugin errors since upgrading should open WMP, right click somewhere and select Tools, Plugins, Options and then under category select Background and check the uICE WMP Plugin box. Click OK and you should be good to go. Fantastic plugin!!!

ok (24/10/2007)
i only use it for the artwork thing, because the other controls are easier to use in the taskbar's wmp toolbar... but nice

Nice (11/10/2007)
What more could you ask for. It shows album art, skip, stop, and play buttons. Now my iTunes runs quitly behind the scene.

Best Windows Gadget ever!! (02/06/2007)
This is definitely a wonderful gadget, infact MS shud hav thought of a WMP gadget like this! Only one thing though, the gadget works fine under an admin account, but doesnt work under a restricted user account. It would be really appreciated if this could be fixed. But great work so far!!

One of my favorite gadgets (10/06/2007)
I really like your newest update. It's very cool seeing the Foobar logo in the sidebar when it's idling...One small complaint though...could you center the logo in the sidebar? It looks a little off balance aligned to the right. Nice work though, I love it
