Advice/Info/Help with Retrieving Windows Media Player playlists programmaticallyin C#

S

Silverton Mike

I need to retrieve Windows Media Player playlists programmatically via
C# from a desktop machine. Does WMP keep track of used/created playlists
via registry entries or a saved file on the hard disk? I know WMP
likes to save its playlists in directories such as:

H:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\My Playlists

but any .wpl files saved outside such a scheme wont be found if only
looking here.

I did find this directory:

H:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Media
Player

but it only had a dummy .wpl file of sorts:

<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
<head>
<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player
-- 9.0.0.2991"/>
</head>
</smil>


Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll continue to
thumb through the MSDN sites and google hits to see what shows up on
this topic.
