I’m a bit behind on my email, so I just saw this and wanted to post about it even though it’s not exactly new.

An XFire user has created a program called, Xfire Plus: Music Plugin, and it brings a highly requested feature to the XFire IM Client. The ability for other users to see what you are listening to. According to the origional message, the supported media players are: WinAmp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, RealPlayer, LAUNCHcast, Foobar 2000, and MusicMatch Jukebox.

I’m about to install this and see if it works with QMP. I’ll update in a few minutes with the results.

Update: While QMP isn’t technically supported, you can (sort of) “trick” Xfire Plus into thinking that iTunes is playing the music. Here is what needs to be done.

1. Download the AMIP plugin for QMP. - The site still list it as QCD.
2. Start QMP and go to preferences.
3. Select the Plug-Ins tab
4. Select general from the list on the left
5. Highlight AMIP Wrapper 0.02 and click configure.
6. After that, you can follow the XFire Plus iTunes Install Guide

Just remember to set XFire plus to use iTunes!
