Y!Amp M9 Released

Posted in Site News by Nick on October 30th, 2008

I am releasing Y!Amp M9 today, and you can get it on the Y!Amp page. There are a couple things that I want to mention…

The big thing is that it now works with Yahoo! Messenger 9, of course, but the even bigger point is that Y!Amp now supports something called Last.FM. Last.FM is an application that runs in the background on your machine, and gathers what you are and have been listening to in Winamp, Windows Media Player and iTunes, then uploads that information to the Last.FM servers and your Last.FM profile for others to see. So in a way now, Y!Amp works with iTunes and Windows Media Player as well, providing that you enable Last.FM support. Big thanks to Gareth Ferguson at Gareth-Software.com for helping me with this.

Also, there are some things people have requested that I plan on integrating later but are not yet present – things like showing the last song you’ve listening to in your AIM profile, your AIM away message, your MSN status, etc.

One other thing that I am slightly sad to say is that there is currently no way to show fake icons anymore with Y!Amp M9. I know for a fact that fake idle is still possible but not through the way I used to code it, so there will be an upate for Y!Amp soon that will let you know when this will be reintroduced.

Enjoy the program, and please, if you have any comments/concerns/issues feel free to leave a comment below or on the Y!Amp page.

    Hey nick.. since you finished one of your big programming projects, i thought of another idea you might be interested in. I think it would be cool if you made a web design program with some features similar to dreamweaver. I use to use Eversoft Firstpage, but it is horrible. Tons of ppl look for a nice free webtool program.

    I use GoDaddy for all of my hosting and domains. Contrary to other reviews I’ve ride, I’ve always had good experiences with GoDaddy.
