ON AIR

If you are accustomed to using Yahoo! Messenger on a regular basis, you have probably gotten used to the function that displays the music you listen to as your status message. If you want to enjoy the same function on Skype, you can rely on a dedicated application called ON AIR.

It installs without any issues, but you need to authorize it within Skype before benefitting from its features (a popup will be displayed as soon as you login, notifying you that a third-party app is trying to connect to Skype).

At this point, you simply need to launch your preferred audio player, start playing your favorite audio tracks and watch your Skype status message get updated to display the currently played track.

ON AIR supports a wide range of multimedia players, such as 1by1, AIMP, BS.Player, Clementine, foobar2000, Gom Player, iTunes, Jaangle, jetAudio, J. River Media Center, KMPlayer, MediaMonkey, PotPlayer, ProgDVB, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Songbird, Spider Player, Spotify, Virtual Dj, VLC, Winamp, Winyl, XBMC, Zune and many others.

ON AIR allows you to customize the text that will be displayed as your Skype status message by inserting smileys, flag images or hyperlinks, then save them so you can later load and use them within seconds.

You can set the application to run at Windows startup, as well as hide when minimized and start as a system tray icon, so it does not disturb you. The status message can be updated as soon as the song starts playing, or you can set a delay period ranging from 5 to 30 seconds.

ON AIR comes in handy to all users who want to constantly inform their Skype contacts about the audio tracks they listen to. Considering the app comes without a price tag, you can experiment with its functions for as long as you want.
