I realize this is related to issues 84 and 134, but neither was using

pidgin 2.6 or musictracker 4.20.

I'm using the Windows Media Player 11.0.5721.5145, Windows XP SP3, Pidgin 2.6.4, and MusicTracker 0.4.20. Log is the same as the related one

Help!

Please check that the WMPuICE plugin for WMP is installed and enabled, as described in the second part of FAQ #7

http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-musictracker/wiki/FAQ#7

Sometimes this fails to happen automatically. Sorry, we don't know why.

forehead slap The solution IS featured in FAQ#7! I confess I was distracted by the top title for "(0.4.5 and earlier)." Thank you for your help!

No problem. I've rearranged the FAQ page so the more useful answer comes first :-)
