Most people I know use iTunes as their music player. As with anything, there is a lot more you can do with Visual Studio + a COM SDK. Apple has made one for the iTunes music player, and I have been using it for quite a long time. It is available Here. You are able to connect to iTunes with Perl, JScript, C++, C#, VB.NET and probably some more. One language that you can connect to iTunes with is PHP, and there is very little documentation doing this. So, before you start, you need PHP5 (as it has fully rewritten COM internals) and Apache2, if you try with PHP4/Apache1.3.34 you will probably just get a PHP crash and a few ugly errors. You can get apache Here, and PHP5 from Here.
Stay tuned for Part Two.
