This is neat, but I have a question...

If I already have a song playing in Media Player, how can I get the tag info of the currently playing song?

[tttommeke]

The

$rc = $oPlayer.currentmedia.name() ; name of file (from TAG !)

MsgBox(0, "5 rc", $rc)

Doesn't work, I'm trying it for some time now and it seems like .name can't be done in currentmedia ?
