So here’s how to do it:

1. Download and install AMIP for your player from http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/amip/download
2. Download and install the AMIP Configurator from the same page
3. Open the AMIP Configurator and go to the “File/Email” screen under “Other Integrations”
4. Set the file path to a new .cfg file in your game’s config directory – I’m using Paintball 2.0, so in my case it’s C:\games\paintball2\pball\configs\song.cfg.
5. Set the text in the “Play” etc. windows to some appropriate commands, substituting %name where you want the song title & artist. For example, in Paintball2, the “me” command will broadcast the speaker’s name followed by the text you give it. If your game does not support this, the vast majority of all quake derivatives support the “say” command, so you can use that instead.
6. Click apply and then OK. If you get an error about saving the config, you may need to run the configurator again, with admin priviledges (right click->run as administrator)
7. Start your media player and select a song.
8. Start your game, and bind a key to “exec song.cfg”, or whatever you called your config. I chose the keypad enter button, so I typed: “bind kp_enter exec song.cfg”
9. Press the button you chose whenever you want to show the song you’re listening to

This should work with most Quake 1/2/3/4 engine games, and derivatives – e.g. it works with the Source engine too, for any Half-Life 2: DM/Counter-Strike: Source/Day of Defeat: Source players out there

Surprisingly, the packaging is fairly colourful looking, with a colour distinction to help you tell the normal and sugar-free versions apart – the sugar-free variant is in the “lighter” shade of blue.

Starting with the regular, sugared version – the taste is fairly in line with every other budget can so far, a “mixed fruit” flavour with a sweet aftertaste, which is in this case bearable at least. Nothing special here.

Taste (regular): 6/10

After hurriedly chugging the rest of the regular to get a comparative taste of the sugar free version, I was surprised at the difference in taste. It actually tastes quite markedly worse, but I guess that’s to be expected, by the fact none of the other brands have a sugar-free or diet version I’ve seen yet. It’s sweeter then the regular, but not as sickly, it just tastes of horrible diluted pineapple and orange squash. There’s also a nasty aftertaste. But on the other hand, at least there won’t be a sugar comedown afterwards if you have a lot – unless you wash your mouth out with coke or something, which may seem tempting after tasting it.

Taste (sugar free): 3/10

Both variants have the same concentration and strength by price as emerge too – 30mg/100ml, 2.14mg/p.

Value: 7/10
Experience: 5/10
Overall (regular): 6/10
Overall (sugar-free): 4/10

Alright as a budget drink, but unless you’re on a major diet or unable to taste, stay the hell away from the sugar free version!
