function UpdateMetadata()

metadata.value = "Track: "+player.currentmedia.name;

and its output is Track: My Descent Into Madness By: Eels Length: 03:54
in the title bar
and as anyone else knows that you can easily pick up text from a title bar that always begins with the word "Track: " so in my vb client that i use for lj i used windows api to search for any window that begins with "Track: " and grabbed the rest of the text inside there the api code i used is not on my work computer doh i was going to post it but instead of wasting room and such i wont he he. ummm if anyone wants me to let me know, but im sure everyone on here knows win32 api well enough to know how to do this. but as to my point, if we are going to give the public an easy way to grab the song from windows media player they would have to use a special lj skin to do it hmmm what an idea maybe even letting this skin post lj entrys (just an idea) it is possible.
