Answer 1

Hi Jay, try this:

Dim zArtist As String = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentItem.getItemInfo("Artist")
Dim zTrackTitle As String = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentItem.getItemInfo("Title")
Dim zAlbum As String = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentItem.getItemInfo("Album")

Or use this instead:  AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo()

Why isn't this working for me?

Although the Title returns the correct value, Artist, or Album doesn't return anything...
