XChat Plugins - Made in C

ANP 0.2.4 - May 10, 2008

ANP (Amarok Now Playing) is an XChat plugin that shows the currently playing song in Amarok in the form: /ME Rocks: Artist - Title [Album]. You can customise the message to be set, so instead of the default 'Rocks:' message, you can put whatever message you want. It also has menus and three commands to control Amarok from within XChat, /PLAY, /PAUSE and /STOP.

This new version features a new command, /ANPMENU, to toggle showing the menu, a How-To and a FAQ, which you can find in the 'doc' directory.
