Little Guide on how some functions work

_iTunes_Song_GetInfo() AND _iTunes_Current_GetInfo() both return an array containing song's info:

[0] Album

[1] Artist

[2] Name

[3] Comment

[4] Compilation

[5] Composer

[6] Date Added

[7] Duration (in seconds)

[8] EQ

[9] Genre

[10] Kind

[11] Modification Date

[12] Played Count

[13] Last Played Date

[14] Playlist

[15] Rating

[16] Sample Rate

[17] Size

[18] Time (HH:MM:SS)

[19] Track number

[20] Volume adjusment

[21] Year

note: _iTunes_Selected_GetInfo() returns an array with the same values but in a string, separated by "|" so to retrieve the informatios of each selected track you will have to StringSlit() $array[index]

_iTunes_Playlist_Info() returns an array containing the playlist's info:

[0] Kind

[1] Duration (in seconds)

[2] Shuffle (1/0)

[3] size in bytes

[4] Repeat (0 = no | 1 = one song| 2 = all songs)

[5] Time (HH:MM:SS)

[6] Visible

ENJOY!

I like it. Good job.

Man, where was this script about a year ago? I was trying to figure out how to do something like this. I was going to grab current song playing from my Media Player and put it in my Ventrilo comment but now Ventrilo has their own integration for media players to display that information.

you have nothing on Equalizers. i figured out how to get the current, and set all in a combo, do you think you know how to set the EQ by name?

[AcidCorps]

First off thank you for this script I've been using it for awhile now

Now my question is how can I read the full library list?

I see the variable $Library_Tracks but when i put it in a msgbox nothing comes up and when i put it in an array nothing comes up also tried for $tracks in $Library_Tracks and couldn't get anything

anybody know of how I can read this variable or how I can read the iTunes Library

Hi AcidCorps

I Updated the UDF and you can now retrieve the track list using _iTunes_Library_Tracks() Function

You could change _iTunes_Selected_GetInfo() to use a 2D Array:

Func _iTunes_Selected_GetInfo()
    Local $sInfo[1][22], $Counter=0
    For $track In $iTunesApp.SelectedTracks
        $Counter+=1
        ReDim $sInfo[$Counter][22]
        
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][0] = $track.Album & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][1] = $track.artist & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][2] = $track.BPM & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][3] = $track.comment & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][4] = $track.Compilation & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][5] = $track.Composer & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][6] = $track.DateAdded & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][7] = $track.Duration & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][8] = $track.EQ & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][9] = $track.Genre & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][10] = $track.KindAsString & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][11] = $track.ModificationDate & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][12] = $track.PlayedCount & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][13] = $track.PlayedDate & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][14] = $track.Playlist & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][15] = $track.Rating & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][16] = $track.SampleRate & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][17] = $track.Size & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][18] = $track.Time & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][19] = $track.TrackNumber & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][20] = $track.VolumeAdjustment & "|" 
        $sInfo[$Counter-1][21] = $track.Year
    Next
    If $Counter = 0 Then $sInfo = ""
    
    Return $sInfo
EndFunc   ;==>_iTunes_Selected_GetInfo

You could change _iTunes_Selected_GetInfo() to use a 2D Array:

I thought of that but It turns everything so complicated when getting an output from the func... I kept it the more simple I could Edited November 5, 2008 by torels

Thank you very much

[torels]

you're welcoome!

I had to think a bit... but in the end it wasn't that hard... you were very near to the answer

I see the variable $Library_Tracks but when i put it in a msgbox nothing comes up and when i put it in an array nothing comes up also tried for $tracks in $Library_Tracks and couldn't get anything

[Psibernetic]

Hey Torels I'm using this in a huge program I am working on, you saved my life with predefining these COM calls for me.

Also I am having an issue unregistering this COM event...iTunes feels it still must prompt that the COM interface is still in use...even though its not any ideas?

iTunes UDF updated

Added _iTunes_Unload(). It deletes the object

[TheSaint]

I haven't tested it yet, but thanks for what seems very promising!
