#711 Scripting support for Media Monkey
It would be great if the FMA scripting framework could have a script added much like the winamp, WMP, and iTunes scripts for an application called Media Monkey.
It should be an easy program to script for, as it supports it's own vb scripting. More info about this here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/developers.htm
Excerpt: "MediaMonkey is highly extensible via script-based access to a broad range of functionality. Using this interface you can access almost any aspect of MediaMonkey's organizational capabilities via an external application (or script) that can be fully integrated with MediaMonkey."

This excerpt from the forum post:
"There are three ways to interact with MediaMonkey from an external program:
- Open the MediaMonkey.exe program with command line options (arguments).
- Using the same messages as in Winamp (WM_USER and WM_COMMAND). MM uses WinAmp plug-ins and thus it can emulate how WinAmp works (not 100%, but very close). The class name to communicate with is "Winamp v1.x".
- Using OLE Automation, which can be very easily used e.g. from VB Script.
VBScript: Dim SDB : Set SDB = CreateObject("SongsDB.SDBApplication")
C#: SongsDB.SDBApplicationClass SDB = new SongsDB.SDBApplicationClass();
Be sure to set SDB.ShutdownAfterDisconnect to False if you opened the MediaMonkey program by calling the SDB object, and you don't want it to be closed when your external program exits (or if you disconnect the SDB object = COM link). "
Now if only I knew vb script myself....
