We can't say enough how excited we are about the latest iLike Sidebar - for iTunes, for WindowsMedia Player, Windows XP or Vista, Mac OS/X Tiger or Leopard - we have released all of these simultaneously: download it here!
Note: most existing users will be auto-updated to the newest version, but not immediately. If you're reading this blog, upgrade now! :)
What's new: live updates from your favorite artists
As you listen to music in iTunes or Windows Media Player, you see live updates from the artist you're currently listening to - bulletins, concert alerts, album releases, new music, and new videos.
See the screenshot to see what the iLike Sidebar displays while listening to different artists (all of whom are posting content using the iLike Universal Artist Dashboard):
Artists: starting today, every time you upload a song, enter concert information, or post a multimedia iCast bulletin, the iLike "post-once, publish everywhere" system will automatically display this information in the iLike Sidebar for iTunes and Windows Media.
I am not seeing the "those who are listening" list? Why has that been removed?

Man, I'm kind of bummed about this new sidebar. The "people listening now" links are gone!! That's how I find new friends. I really don't care for the compatibility scores, because I love music and want to meet people with different, as well as similar, interests as mine. I wish this would come back to the side bar. Please.

why iLike isn't compatible with WinAmp? I don't like WinMedPlayer, I'll never use iTunes, but I always have used winamp [and tons of user have did it too]... so why did u forget about winamp? does iLike hate winamp?

I am a member of hi5 and followed a link here. Well I created an account and when I went to download the sidebar. Well let's just say I am a UNIX user (Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu) and unfortunately now, I must unsubscribe from ilike, because there's no support for UNIX.
Thanks

Hey iLike,
Cute how you delete every post that mentions last.fm.
People are asking for Winamp support, Linux support, and charts, all of which you don't have and last.fm does. If people ask for services that you don't provide, what's wrong with pointing them in the right direction?
Posted by: Michael M | December 16, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Yeah, what happened? The updated link still doesn't work btw.
And I'm not trying to slam you, I know how hard it is to force releases.
Posted by: jonah | December 17, 2007 at 10:21 AM
Since there is no winamp support, i will use last.fm .....
seriously, you gotta have winamp support !!!!

Thanks for fixing the playlist problem :) I appreciate it.

WinAmp Support oh u guys need to have that!!
Posted by: Fabio Rodrigues | January 14, 2008 at 03:12 AM
Hi,
Would like to have linux support. I have decided to use Linux over Windows (no compromise for the sake of ilike).
Please let know whether you have any plans for a linux plugin.
Thanking you
Warm Regards
Sriram

OK, I'm really disappointed. There is still no iLike for Winamp. I think iLike hates Winamp:) I really wanna use iLike but u guys have to make a plugin for Winamp. Winamp is the most used media player and u keep ignoring Winamp. U r Anti-Winamp lol well. I dont think this update is monumental till they will make a sidebar for Winamp(I dont think they will do tho) I'll keep my hopes high:) I hope u can hear what I say.

I don't want this to sound repetitive but, how come it doesn't support winamp?? is winamp ever gonna be suported? o_O
Posted by: giordano | May 20, 2008 at 09:48 AM
I gotta second the 'WinAMP please!' consensus. You guys said you'd add support for other players AGES ago, and nothing's come of it. I can not stand either iTunes or Windows Media Player, they're horrible. I use MediaMonkey (which can use WinAMP plugins, so you could kill 2 birds with one stone!) and WinAMP is my number 2 choice.

I'm trying for quite some time now to retrieve info and it's not working !!! My emailaddress should have been removed when I deleted my account BUT I only did this because due to Sxipper (a Firefox add-on) I subscribed before and I wanted to merge the accounts to only 1. The username belgianpete1 is deleted and Peter E from Belgium is me ! But I can't retrieve that account because of a wrongly registered emailaddress. PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

I have an empty account on here since I use Winamp and am not going to switch to itunes or WMP for the sake of using this site. I read one of ilike's posts somewhere on this site saying that they're not very interested in making sidebars for other players since only about 10% of their users use them... But that would only be because people end up canceling their accounts when they are told they can't use this site with their favorite player.
I keep my account blank, but open in hopes of a Winamp plugin. Until then, I don't think I'll really do much on here. I'll be sticking with last.fm.

Oh my!
When will this whole iPod-iTunes-iHype crap end? I've been waiting for years for an Ilike approach towards Winamp. I've been using Winamp for more than a decade, since ver 1, and I'm not leaving it just yet.
Posted by: Pablo | January 15, 2009 at 09:40 PM
I (and many others) would greatly appreciate it if you would support Winamp.
Posted by: Christian | February 16, 2009 at 06:19 PM
ummmmm, winamp...sort it out
Posted by: nate | March 11, 2009 at 01:56 AM
I think every user of WinAmp has now been represented on this comment thread. There is clearly pent-up demand for WinLike.

How the hell could you forget winamp OMG you failed. Itunes hahahahahah, WMP hahahahahhahhahaha. Cumon guys sort your Winamp capabilities out.
Posted by: WinampFan | June 07, 2009 at 06:28 AM
Can we get a WinAmp plugin as well? I mean, I like WMP and iTunes and all, but their usability is terrible compared to WinAmp.
