Hi Jeff,
I'm not familiar with URGE. Based on my searching and your description,
it's a music online download site that need to login to use its service.
I'm also not very sure about the "WMP 11" part in your question, do you
mean WMP 11 can download from URGE and you want to do this same
functionality yourself?
Based on my experience, normally accessing such web site programmatically
will depend on the web site's interface:
1) If it provides webservices, then it's easy to use them from .NET since
NET supports add web reference and it will help create a proxy class for
you to call the service.
2) If it doesn't have webservice or any APIs, all you have to do will be
doing what a web browser could do: login to get a cookie, programmatically
create a request (and pass the cookie) and send it to the web site and read
its web response and parse the result. This is not easy, for example: if
the web site use CAPTCHA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha) on login
page, it's almost impossible for a program to login that site; and the
returned html source will be difficult to parse out the information you
needed.
I would recommend you to use VB.NET instead of VB since .NET has great
class library for using web service or web request.
By the way, this newsgroup is for VB questions; you need to use
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb for VB.NET questions.

Walter Wang (wawang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
