Retrieving Catalog Information
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
You can display diagnostic information on a catalog by running catcomp with the following syntax:
catcomp info <catalogpath> [track|artist|album] [ID]
For example, the following command displays information on an entire catalog, including the version, locale, and internal information on catalog items:
catcomp info C:\Catalog210\catalog.wmdb
The following displays information for the track with ID 3256:
catcomp info C:\Catalog210\catalog.wmdb track 3256
