Forgive my ignorance, but I wasn't really sure where to start.
If all I want to do is play / enqueue a file in foobar, which function under which class would I call?
I realize I could just "execute" the file in Windows with foobar being the default audio player, but I'm hoping to do this more elegantly..

Can anyone help?

While I'm asking.. is there a simple way to use foobar to return file info (ie. bitrate, length, etc) for various audio file formats? I'm growing a bit weary using separate DLLs for each type of audio file format to support in my app.

Thanks a bunch!

Adding a track to the active playlist:

CODE

playlist_oper::get()->add_location("C:\\bla\\music.ext");

Playing a track on the active playlist:

CODE

playlist_oper::get()->play_item(index);

Activating another playlist:

CODE

playlist_switcher::get()->set_active_playlist(index);

There is currently no standard way to programmatically get information from foobar2000 to another process; there are some third party extensions that allow this to a certain degree (foo_remote for example).
