Facebookamp - winamp / facebook plugin

By Greg Sinclair 2007

>> Download the plugin here. Current version is 0.9.

New Features!

• Can now update songs in real time!
• Can show you other people who like the same songs as you!
• If you skip a song, it does not show up in your list!

Instructions:

1. If you have previously installed the facebook app, REMOVE IT NOW.
2. Add the facebook app to your profile, again. Get it here.
3. Download the plugin.
4. Extract the dll and place in your winamp plugins folder, probably C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins.
5. Restart winamp. You will see the following screen:
   
   Obviously, your user id is not 0. So if you don't know your user id, go to http://apps.facebook.com/fbookamp, then copy the user id, and paste it into the box.
   You will also see a new box, called Verification id. Again, paste the verification id that is displayed on http://apps.facebook.com/fbookamp.
6. Press ok.
7. Now, all you have to do is listen to winamp as you normally would! The stats are sent silently to my server.
8. To update your facebook page with your winamp stats, visit http://apps.facebook.com/fbookamp. Every time you visit this page, your stats are automatically update to your facebook profile.
9. Please post any problems, reviews, comment, suggestions for new features, on the application's about page, at http://utoronto.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2455096081. I will be working to improve all features of the app.
10. Thanks!
