Hi,

There is SeekMusic(), but how do I return the current position (in milliseconds) of the currently playing music?

Puzzled :s

Hello,
you could start a timer when you start the music playback

Does GetAttribute(#MUSIC) with #ATTRPOSITION not work for what you want?

@allanon

Timers are no good for what I need it for. I need to give the end-user the opportunity to skip forward and back through a track as well as update the display every second to show its current play position in the track.

Hmmm, I'll have a look tomorrow when I get back in the office. I've used GetAttribute() on many different occasions, it didn't occur to me to take a look it on this occasion.

Assuming you have taken that direct from the documentation that does sound very promising. I'll give it a go. Thank you.

Being able to get the current position in the music being playing is very essential to what I am trying to do. Also I need to detect when a track has ended so that the next track (if there is one) in the playlist follows immediately afterwards.

Check out the HollyAmp source code. It does everything you want.
