It's definately something to think about, and I know I can do it using the control I currently play the MP3's with.

I'm working on doing the same thing in WinCab, although more for legal reasons than technical reasons. (In the US at least, MP3 decoding algorithms are patented, and the library I'm using is a freeware one that hasn't paid the licensing fees. By using WMP, we're not shipping any MP3 code in our apps and thus not infringing the patent.

The other alternative (and the way I would probably go) is to use the winmm.dll through its mciSendString function, but things could get really ugly that way. I'm sure someone would have written a nice layer on top of that, though, if not, I'd write one.
Of course, that would be a moot point if I could upgrade, as the 'Pro' version of the MP3 control has CD playing built in.
However, I don't want to start a 'charity drive', I'm just stating facts!

That's what I was thinking. It will be easy to just display the number of tracks on the CD as 'Track 01', etc. However, I know that won't be good enough.....lol! That's not a bad thing, I suppose, as it helps the program develop nicely, but it would be nice to see less of the 'hey, I love the program, but......' messages ;)

I'd love to see an excel macro. My computers must be too slow to use the wincab function properly. I have 1100+ albums, and I've never had the patience to let it finish.
Thanks.

I'm probably going to assume that the albums are laid out in artist/album/track directory structure with the covers under the album directory with track. Did my id3 tag info macro work ok on your machine?

I've never tried your id3 tag macro. I'm artist/album/track directory.
Work this weekend. You've got something better to do? :laugh:
Thanks, Art
