Current Playing - How do you do that? One common question I keep getting asked is how do I get that “Currently Playing” song info in my blog posts. Well, it’s quite simple really. I am using the Windows Media Blogging Plug-in , which has been around for years, initally as part of the Windows Media Player 9 Series Fun Pack . This Plug-in takes the name of the song currently playing, as well as the album and stores this metadata in the registry. The Windows XP Winter Fun Pack has a updated version which also does adds song info to email signatures I use a .NET FX based Windows Client to do my blogging, called PostXING , which can read the info in the registry and automatically put the information in the post. Other blog clients, such as Blogjet can do this too. Post! Simple really!
