Recently, with the help of The CodeProject and Spy++, I've been able to 
create a PowerPro commandlist that can send play/pause, next, last, and 
stop commands to Windows Media Player even when it is remoted or 
minimized to the toolbar. During the course of my tracing WMP with 
Spy++, I was unable to find any messages I could use to make PowerPro 
retrieve the artist, title and album metadata for the currently playing 
track (MP3 or WMA). Does anyone know whether this is possible (the help 
documentation for PowerPro indicates that such a thing could be done 
with Winamp), and if so, how I could go about it? I've never tried to 
use the return value from SendMessage, so I'm looking for a fairly 
detailed explanation. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I know programs like Samurize can retrieve the current track info, 
but I'm already running PowerPro, so the marginal process time and 
memory usage increase of using PowerPro would be less than adding 
another background program.
