Hi. I'm making an aplication in VB (not .NET) and i wonder how can i access to the foobar's "current playing music", for showing at forums, IRC and stuff. Can you help me?

The player has a menu action built-in, [main] Playback/Copy now playing, which you can bind to a global hotkey from Preferences -> Core -> Keyboard shortcuts. Formatting is according to the script under Preferences -> Display -> Title formatting -> Copy command.

If you want a more automated solution, there are also several components, such as foo_winamp_spam, which simulates a Winamp window, satisfactory enough for various existing song info scripts and programs.

There's also foo_amip, a wrapper for AMIP. Although, AMIP does its own tag reading, so for formats which it doesn't support directly, you will have to configure a separate title formatting string within Foobar2000's preferences.

More specific to other tasks, there is also foo_text, which can write the current song info, based on another formatting script, to a text file on every track change.

How about getting the state of current settings, like playback mode, or replaygain mode?

Any way to do this?
