26 - To show now playing in MSN personal status messages you must be using pidgin 2.5.0 or later (or msn-pecan). If you have ever had musictracker 0.4.1 or earlier installed, you must reinstall pidgin for MSN personal status messages to work correctly. (See issue 15 , FAQ #2)

27 - See the wiki page for details on configuring your player and musictracker to work together.
