Hello, I'm trying to develop some monitoring system for mp3 file in VB (watch which mp3 plays the most and send the data to database)

And the problem is the system have to have realtime scanner feature because it have to monitors everything that happened to the mp3 file, start from playing, meta data modification, moving to other directory etc and send it to database. I'm getting trouble doing it in VB.

I already tried filesystemwatcher but it does not report anything when an mp3 file is opened.

Does anyone now how to make it possible in VB? Or is it impossible from the beginning?

first do you have a default player for your mp3 files?
