The main window title does not change (refresh) during normal playback, when foobar is minimized to tray. This is needed to read the title by other apps, whether foobar is minimized or not. It is not being refreshed which makes it unusable.

Well, in fact it (0.9 final) has no window title when minimized to tray. That's what process explorer tells me.

0.8.3 had. Other apps could read the titles of songs even if f2k was in tray.

Any idea how to fix this? Maybe send a message to foobar so it refreshes the window title? Any other workarounds?

Use a proper API to interface with foobar2000, like my COM Automation Server or even the Winamp API emulator.
