Y!Amp M9: Need Suggestions

As you may already know, I am in the process of updating Y!Amp for Yahoo! Messenger 9, after many, many requests to get it to work. Per my usual process, I waited until 9 was out of beta because I’ve seen Yahoo! change the code from beta to final for the status area.

Anyway, in case you didn’t know, I am having to rewrite the program from scratch as I had accidentally lost all of the source when I reformatted and forgot to back it up. That being said, I thought I’d go ahead and ask for any suggestions you may have for the next release. I will say that right now, I don’t believe the new Yahoo! Messenger lets you put fake icons anymore, such as the fake webcam icon, fake status icon, etc. Although I haven’t really tried very hard to get that to work on the new Messenger yet.

And if you’re asking yourself why it’s taking me so long to make a new version—it’s half laziness and half the fact that I lost all of the source code. Now I have to go and download the old Messengers just to get the status change to work with them again. It isn’t hard to figure out, but I am just not as into Yahoo! Messenger as I used to be.

Here are some previews of the next version:

Current suggestions:

1. NickoTyn – Let Y!Amp grab the last played song on your Last.FM account and show that in your Yahoo! Messenger status.
2. EliteTrent – Let Y!Amp be compatible with other media players besides Winamp, such as iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc.

So without further ado, what are some things you’d like to see in the next version of Y!Amp?
