Re: Retrieving Artist / Album etc info

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

From: "David Denning"

Player.controls.play();

theMedia = Player.currentMedia;
string albumTitle =
theMedia.getItemInfo("Album");

Wait for the media to actually start playing (see
Player.playState) before trying to retrieve the metadata.

Enumerate all metadata (Media.attributeCount,
Media.getAttributeName(), Media.getItemInfoByAtom()) to
check whether it is just that item that is missing (after
all, most metadata is optional).
