How can I get the album art of a song file in visual basic.net?I use the Windows Media Player control if that helps anything.You can get album art with the SDK for creating skins, so it might be a similar way here.

In my VB.Net application, I am using Mediaplayer for playing songs. It is working fine with some songs. But some songs are not playing. I gave msdxm.ocx for COM componetes. I used breakpoint to see what is happening, I got the the error as "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.". I am using the following code,
AxMediaPlayer1.FileName = "D:Songsabc.mp3"
AxMediaPlayer1.Play()
I can find out myself how to add a button to the Explorer context menu, but my main question is: How do programs receive commands at runtime? And can you do it in VB. NET? Oh, and no, I don't have any code because I have no idea where to start. So, I guess first I need to make my program a single-instance-application?

I know how to use TOP clause, but there is a problem when I want to sort results in descending order by "PlayCount" .here is the sql query:
SELECT TOP 100 * FROM Database ORDER BY PlayCount DESC this query returns 120 results. If I use "TOP 200" it will return 278 results. But everything works fine if I use ORDER BY Filename.
I am somewhat new to VB and I am currently working on a media player program. I used WMP to make a playlist with the names of all the songs in my library. Then I have my VB program open the library playlist and read all the music names into an array. This works perfectly until i get to a song title with a
(which is not the same as the ' on the keyboard) but readline reads them in as a black diamond with a ? in it. Is this an ASCII/ UNICODE problem, or something like that? How do I fix this? I checked the text file and it is correct.

View 10 Repliesi'm using a label to display information like song title, album, etc... in my visual basic program, some of those includes the & symbol & such, labels seem to dis-regard this character, is there any way to make label show this character or a similar thing that's meant for un-editable text?I don't want to use textbox/richeditbox just to make & symbol to appear, unless is there is a way to make it so you can't edit them & so they don't even look like they were ever editable, meaning get rid of the box around text & background, or something..that is only way i'd like using those controls
View 2 RepliesWell I have some music files I want to load up from my program, it is meant to list out all the files album name, song title, track number, etc... it's meant to be a custom player which can load up mp3 files & play them.I can get files to play & everything fine, list out directory it's stored in, full file path & file name & such & extension but stuff like album name, song title, track number, song length I am unable to find out how to get this info.
Previous stuff has showed a way to retrieve them from the file by reading certain bytes & stuff but doesn't work because apparentally the album art is inside the file & at the beginning instead of the other information tags, since such pictures are bigger or smaller at times, I can't simply determine with my current knowledge how to read out the album art either or determine how long of text it would be to skip over, then at that point that the tags are in the place ..maybe there is a way from managed code to do this or API? Reading bytes to determin the info & re-create the album art, and piece together the album name, song title, etc... isn't what I want to do, I want something that's easier to do, I thought it would be simple to make a program just to play some music.
I know album name is usually to music files & stuff probably but I guess album is what I need to categorize my video files correctly in Windows Media Player as it does organize my music files correctly when using album name & title. Anyways, these files I just want to change album name at the least & the description is something else I'd like to change on them as well. These files when I right click & go to properties then over to the details tab will show all the things like it usually does, but it will not let me change them. I am guessing this has to do because they are protected type files but I just want to change some things so they display correctly in Windows Media Player.
It already lets me change attributes inside Windows Media Player & at the bottom pane of the screen in explorer when the file is selected of attributes the file already had, but it won't let me add in the album name & description since it didn't start with one. I don't want to get rid of the protection on the files to be able to add these attributes either as I thought that was illegal or something, plus I don't want to download another program I don't have just to do this, whether it be a protection remover (which I said above, I think is illegal, even if it wasn't or isn't, I still wouldn't want to do that anyways) or even a thing that can change the attributes for me I wouldn't want to download since I just don't like downloading things that I won't use often, even if it's easy to remove & everything.
Since I already have VIsual Basic 2010 Express Edition installed I would just like to code something to change these attributes programmatically. It can be a simple textbox which is the location of the file and a button which changes the album name and description to "Just Text" that way I can put in each file I want to change & then click a button and it will be good from there. I will be able to change the variables after they are there to what I want after that from explorer or windows media player so I don't care for having textbox to change album name & description per file as I can just do this in explorer afterwords to what I want. By the way, files are in .wmv file format.
Trying to mimic the way the IPhone flips the album art to the songs list. I want to pass in two generic objects and have the storyboard flip them. I can get the slide effect, but have not figured out how to scale the object so it appears to be rotating and not just sliding.
