Wow, I thought I'd gotten a glimpse of all the strong scripts out there and yet "Quick Play Keys" and "Audio Monitor" are new to me, and look interesting!

Let me focus on this question;
what would one need to do to externally connect with the API of a PORTABLE installations?? [ normally: Set SDB = CreateObject( "SongsDB.SDBApplication") ]


dozens of challenging registry entries? ...or easier than that?

If that is do-able, then I might try some more experiments toward my goal. I did conclude I could pull off my goal by using a WINAMP install open beside mediamonkey. There are some plugins floating around to gain script access to WINAMP - but I'd MUCH prefer the STRONG scripting capabilities MediaMonkey permits. I just think that once I get results, I'll think of more and more clever ways to have more interesting correlations between the two audio 'sides'. This will leave me longing for "dualing MediaMonkeys"!!

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no way to Overlay another sound in MMW you can script effects after few tracks.

For Quick overlay effect back in the days I created http://mmfanbox.x10host.com/mmfanbox/

I need to script the playing of two files AT THE SAME TIME. (I want to create a prolonged sound environment with a playlist of musical tracks overlayed with random soundeffects).

I see this as pretty easy to pull off quite nicely with MediaMonkey, using two 'instances' of MediaMonkey.
The challenge: how to use SongsDB.SDBApplication to talk to different instances of MediaMonkey?

Is this possible?

I tried the obvious and its not this simple, anyway:
Set SDB1 = CreateObject( "SongsDB.SDBApplication")
Set SDB2 = CreateObject( "SongsDB.SDBApplication")

Is there a way to externally connect with the API of PORTABLE installations?

...(Or perhaps, suggestions on multitrack software with scripting capabilities? I REALLY would rather NOT rely on two laptops and a mixer.)
