Even though the log file feature of Now Playing is clearly geared towards text files, it is possible to take advantage of the fact that "unclosed" HTML files (files that don't have slash tags to close the tags that were opened) are fully functional, and browsers "fill in" what was missing. For this reason, all we have to do is create a text file with only an HTML header, and let the log file be created in that file.
First, add the following lines to an empty text file:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>QCD Music Log</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1200">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><b><font size="7">QCD Music Log</font></b></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<blockquote>
Save the file as HTML.
Add the tag <br> to the end of the log string.
If there are 2 consecutive spaces in the log string, browsers will identify only one. Use " " (without the quotes) instead of each space.
HTML formatting tags within the log string may be added.
That's it, you have an HTML log; just enable it in the log configuration dialog and make sure it's pointing to your newly-created HTML file.
We've reached the end of the road. I hope you are enjoying Now Playing and I hope you enjoyed my website. Any questions, comments, suggestions or bug reports are more than welcome, just e-mail me.
