maybe this will work for you:

Snarl is a notification system for Windows. It provides a standard, simple way for applications to notify the user of events.

I'm using Snarl for other apps but I could not find a way to have WMP display the track info in Snarl. – Snark Nov 6 '09 at 12:07
hence the 'maybe', i'm not using the software but i remember it being advertised somewhere as 'Growl for Windows'. – Molly7244 Nov 6 '09 at 12:41

You want to create a Windows Media Player plug-in.

To do this, you would use the Windows Media Player SDK:

The core SDK requires that you code in C++, however using this project you could use C# in the future though currently it only supports visualizations:
