Get a song playing in Windows Media Player

Question

Using C #, how can I get the name of the song, artist, etc. that is currently playing in Windows Media Player? Applications like MSN Messenger / Google Talk do this. Thanks

Answer 1

For C #

I spent hours trying to get it to work on my program. I finally figured it out.

This solution assumes that you either control the Windows media player in the form of your project, or you created the object through code.

• create a new Song Media Player Player object and point it to a file
• ,

• , .

          WMPLib.IWMPMedia song = wmp.newMedia(@"C:\SongName.mp3");         
          string tmpArtist = song.getItemInfo("Artist");
          string tmpTitle = song.getItemInfo("Title");
