Sorry if I did not make myself clear. So, I'm just looking for advice and leads to ways -- libraries, command lines, scripting interfaces, whatever -- to do that in Windows, ways ideally are already used by Ruby developers (so this lazy and novice Ruby developer can see how they did it ;-)). The dbPowerAmp dll looked promising, but seems to have a mysterious glitch that nobody here or at Illustrate has yet commented upon. Thanks. --David.
