Windows Media Palyer - Show Current Playlist & Delete Song Once Played

[Pozzi]

Hi & Good Afternoon,

I've got the following code that populates a Listbox with Songs from my PC.

    Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim allMusic() As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyMusic), FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.mp3", "*.wma").ToArray

        lstSongs.Items.AddRange(allMusic)

    End Sub

    Private Sub lstSongs_DoubleClick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstSongs.DoubleClick

        Player.currentPlaylist.appendItem(Player.newMedia(lstSongs.SelectedItem))

    End Sub

    Private Sub cmdPlay_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPlay.Click

        Player.controls.play()

    End Sub

To add a song to a playlist you just double click on the required song. You can then play the playlist by pressing the Play button.

What I'd like to do is see the actual playlist in another Listbox, so if you double click on the songs Listbox to add to the playlist the other Listbox will be update accordingly.

Now for the slight twist.... How can remove the song that has just been played from the playlist?

Any thoughts, ideas or pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

I'm really not sure why you would want to do that but you could try using the PlayStateChange event to determine when the track changes (but be warned - it's rendered grown men hysterical with its quirks!) or you could run a timer to check periodically what's playing and delete when it changes. I'm assuming you know the .removeitem syntax?

Many thanks for the reply.

Why would I want to do this?

Well I'm in the slow process of putting together a Jukebox application and thought it'd be neater to remove the song that has just played from the playlist to ensure it isn't inadvertently played again by mistake.

Thanks for the warning regarding the PlayStateChange event

I'll have look at it and for some examples where it's been used.

I've had a very brief look at the .removeitem syntax, but haven't tried anything with it yet.

Regards
