Sorry for the late answer, dude... I completely forgot about this >.<

But, anyway, I just downloaded 1.5.4.2 and it works flawlessly with ticks

Small feature request: make it optional the capitalization of every first letter

good to hear it's working for others 

Version 1.5.4.5:
- Added capitalization options
- MsnSurf now writes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
meaning that it can modify the registry without administrator privileges
- Fixed bug where settings weren't saved when closed buy the red cross
- Removed "Close" button (no longer necessary because of above fix)

edit: see latest post for latest version.

Version 1.5.4.7:
 - Fixed last letter of artist/title being truncated

just noticed this happening with the latest version of audiosurf, not sure which version broke it, anyway it's fixed now...

This is just not working for me. I tried the one in the very first post, and this most recent one from Rhonny. Where you enter stats messages, I checked "Show what I'm listening to" from the drop down menu, and also in the options under the Personal tab I have "Show song information from windows media player as a personal messages" checked as well if that matters, though I think that doesn't work for me either when I'm listening to stuff on WM.

--------
Got it to work with WMP, apparently I needed to enable it in WMP as well...
--------

I'm on Vista 64, though I don't think that should be a problem.

Is there any specific start up order?

Msn -> MsnSurf -> launch audiosurf through msnsurf

I tried a few different ways of starting it up but, still no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help.

----------
Got it to work, unsure why it wasn't working in the first place, didn't do anything different this time around. Thanks anyways.

it appears that special characters (like é) are no longer being displayed correctly in the latest msn.
Not sure if this is an issue with msn or msnsurf.
Will look into it.

Version 1.5.4.8:
 - use UTF-8 encoding instead of ASCII (this fixes the special characters not displaying properly).
 - remove redundant code.
