one of the developpers at VMC controller got back to me and now I know how to request songs by album, and by song title.

The request by album I will implement very soon, but the song request might take a bit longer (a week?)

WooHoo.  I've added the ability to request albums in WMC.

You need to turn it on in the options and choose your command phrases.

Then restart VoxCommando and it should "just work"

Oh, you need version 0.73 which I will be posting tomorrow.

While I was mucking around in that area of the code, I also added a very important feature.

Alternate Options!!!  This feature already existed for EventGhost when set up properly.

This is one of those (many) special features that makes VoxCommando better than the competition.

If the computer thinks there are multiple possibilities for your command it will show you a numbered list, and you can choose one.

Example:  You say  "play artist Bob"

The computer will make its best guess and start playing songs by "Bob Marley"

A windows will pop-up that looks like this:

(1) play artist Bob Marley
(2) play artist Bob Dylan
(3) play artist Bobcat Jenkins
(4) play artist Rob Cooper

if you then say "option 2" it will start playing songs by "Bob Dylan"

Note that this feature works with all commands, not just music.

I will add the ability to change the word "option" in the preferences later.
I will also add an option to either execute option 1 right away (which is what it does now), or do nothing until you choose an option. I would not personally use this though because it only works if you are in front of the computer.
