Type //echo -a $scriptdir then navigate to the folder it shows and drop the .dll in there. Then copy the script from here, in mIRC go Tools > Script Editor (or press alt+r) and then File > New and paste it in there. Save as Spotify.mrc.

And what is this? A rip off of my DLL? http://www.hawkee.com/scripts/23835308/

A lot of times things can look similar or be coded similarly for different reasons. Do you have proof that he ripped you off?

My DLL is open source, his isn't. Burden of proof is on him.

heh on mine instead of /np i changed it to /spot because i have another script for winamp/foobar2k that use np on bot players so /spot would be a better alias trigger

@hlve Really? That's awesome. :)

To answer your question: no, you can't. I might at some point in the future update the .dll for such.

I signed up just to thank you for this script! I too have been waiting forever for a script like this.

Quick Question though.. with this DLL, can you call the HTTP link for the song?

@Aha2Y, I would of done something like that, but to me it doesn't make since. Why would you try using it if you knew Spotify wasn't running? xD

alias np {
describe $active NP: $$iif($replace($remove($dll(spotify.dll,Playing,.),Spotify,-), ,-) == $null, Spotify isn't running., $replace($remove($dll(spotify.dll,Playing,.),Spotify,-), ,-))
}

The one i have :)

Type //echo -a $mircdir in mIRC, then navigate the folder it shows you.
Put the spotify.dll file you downloaded in this folder.
Load up the snippet by pressing alt+R and pasting the code above into the box, then click OK.
Start Spotify and find a song.
Type /np in mIRC.
