Wouldn't it be better to translate the ampersand properly ?
Using your function "fish & chips" becomes "fish chips", but wouldn't something like fish & chips be better ? |

Hey dayve, you know of any possible way to add the same sorta thing you have with your winamp plugin, with LaunchCast?
I've crawled all over the launchcast site, cant find anything.... I e-mailed tech support to see if they have anything that could allow us to do that. Figured u might know of a way... |

& would cause it to fail as well because it contains an ampersand in it 
However, I suppose you can use the CHR value of the item to replace with, I can test, but I did what I did for simplistic creation of the XML file. I believe this could work.
fstring = Replace(fstring, "&", chr(38))
fstring = Replace(fstring, "<", chr(60))
fstring = Replace(fstring, ">", chr(62))
fstring = Replace(fstring, """, chr(34))
fstring = Replace(fstring, "'", chr(39))

I get questions like this a lot and generally my response is ANY plugin for ANY music player that allows for HTTP post will work with my script. So, if LaunchCast has a plugin or native ability to post what is playing via HTTP, then yes, it can easily be configured to work with my script. |

I know it has this ability, because in Yahoo messanger when launchcast is running it will display the info beside my name.
For instance, right now I'm listening to A Perfect Circle - Halo
so in yahoo you see my name as
da_stimulator2002 "A Perfect Circle - Halo"
and it links to more info on the song, so there has to be a way to duplicate this via http |

I guess I should clarify. Not so much if it can, but if you have access to changing the settings. Here is a screenshot of the plugin I use with Winamp:
 
If LaunchCast allows you access in your player settings, then it is no problem.

Yeah, it could do, but I thought the error was really that you couldn't have whitespace after the &. As I said (or meant to say ), the error only happens occasionally, so it's not high on my hit list. |
