current artist, song, album by command line

[Guest]

A command line or command lines that would return the current artist, song, album and album cover file location would make it easy to write a screensaver that could poll silverjuke for info, then pull info and images off the internet.

Is there currently any way to do this?

For this purpose, you can write a script or a Plugin DLL that forwards the information to your application or screensaver. Please have a look at and related functions.

Using a script, you can then forward the needed information using ; for a you have access to the whole Windows API.

Very Good Idea!!!
This in combination with a batch that writes the info in a text-file would give us the possibility to show current info about artist etc on a LCD-Matrix!

Thanks for the quick help. OnTrackChange event based mechanism is a much better solution,...I will sort it out when I get a free weekend and be sure to post the code.

Very impressed with the application so far BTW. Runs great on an old 400mhz box running win2k server w/ 500GB HD & touchscreen.
