MSAMedia
Microsoft Access Form Interface to Windows Media Player 6.4


____MSAMedia is a little program written in Microsoft Access 2000 (because that's what I had available at the time) which wraps Windows Media Player 6.4 up in a nice little Access Form and adds playlist functionality, which was missing in version 6.4 (or so well hidden that I couldn't find it!).

____Another slightly new version 2.2 today. This adds miscellaneous bug fixes and the ability to browse through directories in the "Directory" list box (imagine that!). I also converted it to an "mde" file, which makes it a little smaller, but prevents you from actually modifying anything in the file easily or by accident. If that bothers anyone I can post the "mdb" files instead....

____A slightly new version 2.1 today. It just has a few miscellaneous tweeks and bugfixes I've made in the past few days.

____Uploaded a whole new version 2.0 today, re-written from scratch, which completely does away with Microsoft's interface to the media player, in favor of one I designed myself. Also uploaded some screenshots showing the 6 different expansion modes of my interface.
____I haven't gotten around to fixing that bug with shifting multiple files in the playlist yet... maybe tomorrow.

____New version with a much nicer little form for adding and removing files to the playlist, and sorting the list. Can also save/load/append lists as tables in the Access DB.
____I still have a few things I want to fix, however. Shifting multiple files in the playlist (via the Edit window) doesn't work right yet, and the expandable playlist viewer on the media player form will eventually display only the filename (not full path, since those get pretty long and these darn listboxes don't have horizontal scrollbars. grr...).

____Website built. The media player itself I built earlier in the week. The one thing missing from it right now is the ability to easily add tracks to the play list. Right now the only good way to do it is to type the full path into the 'Playlist' table.
