Many, many thanks, Jörg and Pete! It works like a charm on this el cheapo Satellite M115.

So what are all those magic numbers? And is there a way to discover them for other programs (e.g., VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic)?

I'm still thinking about the "radio station" nodes Steegy was kind enough to implement for me -- my file of jazz radio stations is pretty impressive -- and I think I've come up with some data requirements. Here's a writeup: http://blog.crispen.org/archives/2006/08/24/internet-radio-redux/ Since it ...

Err, actually I like MM's way better than iTunes' way. If you set the album artist on all your compilations to "Various Artists", then you can find all your compilations, mix tapes, etc. more easily. Although I sure would like to have an option for getting rid of "The" in the API. :P

Does what the up-arrow does in Windows Explorer: moves you up one level in the hierarchy. <strike>I think this would give users who are used to Windows Explorer functionality they're used to.</strike> Let's see if I can write a simple English sentence. Windows Explorer already trained users to use ...

Thanks, mate. I imagine you tried next what I tried: open MediaMonkey as the player app via Shell.Run(). No joy there, either. Speaking of functionality, how about some way to save a stream on the MM tree? Getting MSIE and MSIE's Favorites involved in that is the kind of design an old friend used to ...

You may remember how Steegy built a neat little script that lets people store their favorite online streams under NetRadio and play them on WinAmp. Now for phase II (Steegy? Are you there?). I can't figure out how to send an URL to the builtin player. I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't ...

I've posted a script that integrates the Pandora "intelligent radio" site with MM: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8408 Pandora is a free web-based service that lets you set up virtual radio stations that play only the music you like. Seriously. Check it out: http://www.pandora.com ...

but why not put the information for your script you posted in the all scripts sticky thread so it is easier to find then looking through all the beta messages.

Uhh, because I didn't know? I posted a wish for a script in the script wishlist thread -- silly me -- and got growled at.

Yeee, hawwww! It works!! Thanks, Steegy. The whole script is at http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43036#43036 The extra bits that make it work are one line toward the end of OpenPopup(): ... SDB.Objects("Pandora Window") = Form ' Make the window hang about SDB.Objects("Pandora Browser ...

Now, thanks to Steegy, it turns off the player when you close the window. This is so cool! '========================================================================== ' ' MediaMonkey Script ' ' NAME: PandoraNode v1.1 ' DESCRIPTION: ' Adds a node to the Web menu that opens Pandora (or substitute your ...

Thanks. OnClose did the trick. I'm getting the event now. Alas, when the window closes, the Pandora applet keeps playing the music and only stops playing when you exit from MM, same as before. BTW: Are you aware that it's now possible to use MediaMonkey's default browser window, referenced by ...

I wrote about a Pandora node a while back, and it works just ducky except for one thing: when I close the browser window, the player (an embedded Flash control) keeps on playing invisibly. Here's how I create the window: Sub OpenInPopup(Node) Dim Form, BrowserControl, Command Command = Node ...

Thanks very much. That's got me unstuck.

I've really struck out on understanding the database. I've been banging on this for a couple of hours, and I suspect I'm not even close. Could somebody please post a line of VBScript that generates an iterator over all the songs whose Composer isn't blank, and that contains artist, album, song, and ...

Thanks, that's a great tool. Really useful.
