Get currently playing song and artist

kevro2 · 18th December 2004, 15:52

I need to know how to pull the song name and artist from the currently playing song into a variable for use in the minibrowser. That's all. After that, I'm going to put them into a search query.

Have looked at IPC_GETPLAYLISTTITLE in winamp\wa_ipc.h ?

This seems to only work for plugins, correct?

I tried using this from an external app and all it returns is the song index (in the playlist).

Is it possible to retrieve this info if using an external app?

Thanks for any and all help!

PS. /me waves hi to DrO - my project is back
