Testing the iTunes Plugin..
I've completed phase 1 in my iTunes plugin, and that's the facility that populates the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\CurrentMetadata" field that various some programs use to get the "Now Playing" status. This documented as part of the WMP9 Fun Pack Blogging Plug-In, but since this plug-in is written entirely from scratch, I didn't use any of it. :)
Also, despite the fact that the tool I'm using to post this (w.bloggar) is most certainly *not* Unicode friendly, my app is and writes to the registry using Unicode.
If you want to check it out, download the DLL from here, and copy it to your iTunes\Plug-Ins directory. That's it. It doesn't need to be enabled or anything to work.
I plan on adding much more kitchen sink functionality to it (hence the name) but this is a start at the very least.

How about a version that writes to a(n ?) XML file instead of messing with the registry and its keys?
Thanks for considering this idea.
