ok ok ok.

1. I know its hard from other forums either telling me that or by them not answering me.

2. so i come back here to the forum that i use for general help where i get lots of help.

3. the scripting forum i posted in still has not replyed to my post and they should have been fast at that after all they only do scripting, should have known since it was a smaller forum then here not to use it but i try to spread my bandwidth around.

4. how can i find the information of song playing or not playing in any media player.

5. how can i find the title of song playing in any media player.

6. how can i combine this information in to a vbs html file or a javascript html file

7. i want to use it to make msagents annouce the song like a dj, or dance to the music when played and stop when not played

8. i can get the msagents scripted but i cant get the information from the media player which is needed to que the msagents as in you know like a if this then that event, then the agent would do what it was told to after it checked the event?

but i am at a loss as to how to do it.

heeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppppp

Okay, so do you want your page to automatically detect what music the user is playing from his or her media player? I don’t think that is possible, or at least, I really, really, really hope it isn’t! Maybe taking advantage of an IE security hole is the way to go.

I don’t know if there is a known flaw that could get the job done though. (Just joking!)

However, you can display what music you are playing on your Web site. There is an extension to WinAmp that can send song information to a server, and other media players probably have this as well. If you are using WinAmp, you could get that extension (I will look for it on request.), which will then start sending data to the server everytime you change songs. PHP or some other server-side scripting language could process that data and format it as HTML, XML, images, etc. That’s how people can make those “I’m listening to…” images for their forum signatures, although PHP image creation can be a bit resource-intensive.

You can find information about songs with freedb.org. You can read the developer information if you’d like.

I’m sorry if I didn’t answer something. I am sort of unclear about what you want…

found a plug in that lets me do the dj part with winamp but not the dancing?

its name is of all things " Djamp" it uses the msagents for the dj stuff like i wanted. only if you get this you need to already have all the msagent program stuff on your computer or it will mess up doing installing.
