[QUOTE="hamheed, post: 4798, member: 10388"] Hi Orlando, Right now you will have to code your plugin using the C# language. You do not have to use VisualStudio.Net but I find this is the best IDE around for doing C# work right now. C# has very good support for WebService, XML, and SOAP, so if Napster provides a WebService or SOAP interface you should be able to tap into that. As far as I know however, Napster is not a FREE service, so people would need to have an account created with Napster in order to use your plugin. I don't think this is a big problem though. As for the screens themselves, right now you have to hand code them and create the graphics and stuff. I am in the process of writing a Screen Editor however, that should help this part of the process out in the future. By the way, its an interesting idea for a plugin... If I understand you correctly, you want to write a plugin that will let you browse songs available through Napster, then allow the user to purchase the song, download it and add it into your Music collection... Pretty cool :D [/QUOTE]
