How to Use WMP to Rip CDs

[Sticky]

Hey guys,

I've done some work with COM objects when I used AutoIt to control iTunes, but all the interfacing had been researched and written already. Now I'd like to interface with the IWMPCdromRip Com Object from Windows Media Player 11 to rip CDs. I have been able to write a script that checks the drive status and then opens windows media player and clicks the rip tab and closes it upon eject but I want to do this directly through the COM Object. Is anyone willing to help teach me or show me how to use this COM Object?

Here's a direct link to get started on the object http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb262864(VS.85).aspx

By the way, I've tried this so far and it works:

$oWMP = ObjCreate('WMPlayer.OCX')
 If @error Then
    Msgbox (0,"Windows Media Player","Error Getting an active WMP 11 Object. Error code: " & Hex (@error, 8))
    Exit
EndIf

But none of these will work, the one with "::" has a parse error so tried a period instead as well:

MsgBox(4096, "Current Ripping Status", $oWMP.get_ripProgress)
MsgBox(4096, "Current Ripping Status", $oWMP.IDC_RIP_STATE)
MsgBox(4096, "Current Ripping Status", $oWMP.IWMPCdromRip::get_ripState)
MsgBox(4096, "Current Ripping Status", $oWMP.IWMPCdromRip.get_ripState)
