>I've been trying to expand my understanding of automation by playing around with Calvin Hsia's solutions sample of the FoxMediaPlayer. What I can't figure out is if I wanted to construct and send a playlist to the WMP rather than a single song title, how would I do it. Specifically, what would be the form of the playlist and how to delineate the titles, and second how would you launch the playlist? I thought I could get some help via the object browser but alas with my limited knowledge of the subject it was of no help.

I don't have it at hand but there is a complete MediaPlayer SDK on the MS-Site. I looked at it a short while ago and remember Playlists being Collections with their own methods. So You could do something like

oMediaPlayer.Playlists.Add("My New Playlist")

and then add items.

.... just looked it up. You can find the SDK here:

... Here You find anything about the MediaLibrary and playlists
