Okay, there is no more fake thing. The music icon is now for real showing what you are listening now. However, it is not like you just play music when you are browsing the forum. You need to install something too.

What you need is AMIP and cURL. I am sorry that it may be complicated but actually, it is just a few steps.

Get AMIP here [ link ]
Get cURL here in our forum [ link ]

Install AMIP. You should choose the one that fits into your own music player. Say, install the Winamp one if you use Winamp.

Unzip cURL to a folder. It is not a temp folder, but permanent.

Go to the Options panel of AMIP. If you are using Winamp, go to Preferences > Plugins > General Purposes > Advanced... line. For iTunes, turn the visualization on, choose AMIP and then click the Options button at the top right.

There you can see a lot of configurations. All you need to do is to enable the IRC one (even though it has nothing to do with IRC) and go to the Callback/Web section. Type this to the Play and Start space:

Remove the space behind your password AND behind the HTTP in the following codes

Change the cURL folder path if it is different from yours.

/exec: (C:\Program Files\cURL\curl.exe) -d "username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD &title=&func_ue(%name)&action=save" http ://forum.aw8.net/playlist.php

For the Stop part, you can type the same except that you have to remove the things after "title":

/exec: (C:\Program Files\cURL\curl.exe) -d "username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD &title=&action=save" http: //forum.aw8.net/playlist.php

Then you're done

*** for iTunes users . in the Options panel, just type the same codes above in the Preset box at the bottom of that box. Also, enable the IRC announcement option to make it work.

Reply this thread for any problem. I will fix that asap. I will add a function to update the playlist asap too
