Get Currently Playing Track info in WMP 11 "Scott Heimendinger [MS]" <scotthei[ at ]microsoft.com> 5/10/2007 5:37:41 PM I've posted this question before, but I haven't yet gotten a response. How can I get the "Now Playing" information (artist, title, etc) from a standalone instance of WMP11 in an external project? I've read through all of the MSDN documentation and it does not address getting this info from a ..NET project. I've read through other projects that can find the WMP window and _send_ commands to it, but I've yet to see anything that will actually read data from the player. I tried using the blogging plugin, but it isn't supported on Vista. Thanks in advance, Scott
