loading winamp playlist into a listbox

[Antithott]

Anyone tried this before.?

I can control winamp without a problem, volume etc, but i have run my head into a wall on how to load the current playlist into listbox or textbox to view what is there.

anyone tryed to do something like this before with winamp?

Open a winamp playlist with notepad and paste some text here. The purpose of that is to see how it looks like. BTW i believe that the songs are one at a line. If so then you can try something like:

dim sr as new io.streamreader("c:\myplaylist.extension")
while not sr.endofstream
  listbox1.items.add(sr.readline)
end while
sr.close
sr=nothing

This is a thread that has a good explanation of the various implementations of the m3u extension. Most do have one or two lines per song. You'll just need to add code to strip out the additional unneeded information. If you use the listbox to add songs to the list, you'll need to insure you understand all of the additional formating strings so you can re-add them on the insert.

Thanks for replies

I found a way of doing it using WM_USER,WM_COMMAND.
