Music Track playing in Foobar as Gtalk status

Foobar is widely used as the default music player, its open source, fast and GUI is simple to use.

A problem people faced after installing foobar is that their gtalk stauts do not get updated with it. So many people while online preferred to use winamp instead of Foobar.

But by following simple steps you can make it work:

1. Download the winamp API emulator plugin from here.

2. Extract the files and copy the foo_winamp_spam.dll file to foobar2000's component directory commonly located in program files.

3. Now go to the foobar2000 directory and create a new file with the name winamp.m3u.

4. Now download this registry modifying file from here.

Open the file and click yes.

5. Play in foobar and set your gmail status in gtalk to current music track. Now you can see the current track as your status.

Note: If your foobar2000 installation is not in c:\Program Files\Foobar2000 then open the reg file in notepad and change the path.
