acessing itunes dj related information through the itunes api

538 Views Asked by At

i am in the process of writing a wpf application for a local bar

they currently are using itunes dj to manage a voting system to handle patrons song requests they are currently looking for a way to display this on a large hd screen above the bar the current version i have implemented shows basic itunes track information such as the current track playing with artist name, song name and album art they would like to add the ability to display the last 3 songs played in itunes dj the current top votes for upcoming songs and the next 5 upcoming tracks to help reduce the number of repeat songs which i plan on adding management routines for so the same song can only play once an hour

is there a way to access this type of information through the standard itunes com api for windows or is this something limited to applescript (i have seen applescript that can retrieve next 10 songs)

i have searched SO and google for similar topics but have so far come up with nothing on accessing itunes dj through the com api and very few article on doing it with applescript

Apple published their iTunes COM Interface Documentation. If you can access the iTunes DJ interface through the COM API, it'll be documented there.
