Just downloaded the final release of MSN 7 and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the “What I’m Listening to” feature even works with iTunes – cool! In addition there’s now an option to displays the contact’s images in the main list, so I’ve got another chance to spot the contact I’m looking for – the majority of which generally have meaningless sign in names!
Update: if you’re having trouble getting this working, check out http://pluralsight.com/blogs/craig/archive/2005/04/27/7783.aspx – you basically need to go to Tools / Options / General and check “Open Messenger main window when Messenger starts.”

my itunes wont work with messenger either, i have tried everything
how do yu get it to work with iTunes?
Yeah Doesn”t work with mine either
apparently starting MSN7 after you start iTunes has made the feature work for some people
start itunes first, then msn 7 MAXIMIZED! (open main window when msn starts)
It wasnt working for me either so I installed the latest windows media player and now for some odd reason it does. Dunno how but It worked for me, hope it helps

I FINALLY FOUND A WAY
It”s quite easy. First, you set all your music types to be listened to with iTunes. I think that it can work even if you don”t do that.
Then, you do control + alt + Del to get your task manager. Then you look for wmplayer, windows media player, however your computer shows it as, and you end it”s task. Works like a charm with me~
i want it to get it to work with iTunes too! i have the latest msn, it worked on the other computers for me, but why can”t it work now? please help!
Thank you arnaud your way worked for me…
Stick on Task Manager (ctrl+alt+delete, then select task manager, or however your computer works it) go into Processes or something and find wmplayer, end it, then iTunes will work to show what yer listenin 2 on MSN!!!
Buff! Finally works 🙂 arnaud”s way
Arnaud”s way works! 🙂 You”ll find wmplayer under processes x
mine used to show what i”m listening to with spotify and itunes but now i have updated to windows 7 it doesnt seem to work
