    I'm afraid I will not have the resources to create a XP version of this. I believe it should be possible, though, but would require some code rewriting.

    I have windows Ultimate 32bt, but I dont use windows media center. I use windows media PLayer 11....any chance that the code can be written so I can use it?

    Not entirely sure of what you mean by "so I can use it", but what I know is that WMP would require a WMP plugin to be coded.

    Media Center applications are totally different, so you cannot really create a Media Center application that would also be a WMP plugin.

    As WMP and Media Center are in fact somehow connected in the background you can get WMP music status to Facebook using my application:

    1. Install my application
    2. Start Media Center (login to facebook in my app, and add the extended permission)
    3. Let Media Center run (you can minimize it)
    3. Start WMP and play music --> WMP music gets updated to Facebook

    I know it isn't really a solution to this, but I just found this out by accident and thought you might be interested :)
