Thank you Richard!  This is certainly the closest I've seen to what I'm
looking for.  At least now I know there's a way to grab the data pretty
easily.  I'm not sure how I'm going to get that data into the "Now
Playing" listener for Trillian Astra though (which listens for Windows
Media Player and WinAMP); especially since I'm not a programmer.

Thanks again,
Michael
