namespace CdRomManagement
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            axWindowsMediaPlayer1.CdromMediaChange += new AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_CdromMediaChangeEventHandler(axWindowsMediaPlayer1_CdromMediaChange);
        }

        private void axWindowsMediaPlayer1_CdromMediaChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_CdromMediaChangeEvent e)
        {
            axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.cdromCollection.Item(e.cdromNum).Playlist;

           axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();      
     
            this.textBox1.Text = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Genre");

That's interesting, yesterday when I looked at this post the code was broken up into several blocks, but now it's all together?--weird.

Anyway, I was wondering if you made any headway on this? Having never worked with the MP API and plugin, I hacked around a little and noticed that when I had wired several other events that the metadata information would be updated by the time the CdromMediaChange event got fired. In addition, when I "unwired" all of the other events (your original code), if I ejected and reinserted the cd, the metadata would be updated by then (second time around).

I looked around for a while trying to figure out how to force the player to update the metadata via an API call, but didn't find out anything before having to "shelf" it.

I am rather surprised that nobody in here has hinted at an answer or direction for you yet. Perhaps it is due to the multiple code blocks as I encountered yesterday.... At any rate, should you find a "cure", please share it with the community.

Cheers!
