WMP Now Playing

[adrianjohnson]

Quite a simple question really, but a search on Google & Windows Live hasn't produced much of a result.

How do I capture the track currently playing in Windows Media Player 11?

I've added the reference to WMPLib, but from there on in the examples get complicated. Do I need to add a WMP control to my form and play through that, as I'd prefer to have WMP playing outside of my program.

Thanks,

Adrian

The project is C# 2008, .net 3.5, WMP 11

Oops - forgot to add the code I already have:

using WMPLib;

...

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer Player;
IWMPMedia media;
media = Player.currentMedia;
string test = media.name;
