How to control foobar?

I was playing with some scripts and noticed that it's much easier to control foobar through Winamp wrapper and even take user messages, than some other way. For example, here are WM_APPCOMMANDs that foobar {97E27FAA-C0B3-4b8e-A693-ED7881E99FC1} class supports:

Code: [Select]
BROWSER_BACKWARD        = Previous Track
BROWSER_FORWARD         = Next Track
BROWSER_REFRESH         =
BROWSER_STOP            = Playback Stop
BROWSER_SEARCH          = Playlist Search
BROWSER_FAVORITES       = 
BROWSER_HOME          * = Goto Home page in default browser
VOLUME_MUTE             = Toggle Mute
VOLUME_DOWN             = 
VOLUME_UP               = 
MEDIA_NEXTTRACK         = Next Track
MEDIA_PREVIOUSTRACK     = Previous Track
MEDIA_STOP              = Stop Playback
MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE        = Playback/Pause
LAUNCH_MAIL           * = Launches default mail client
LAUNCH_MEDIA_SELECT  !* = "Beta version has expired" dialog
LAUNCH_APP1           * = Opens "My Computer"
LAUNCH_APP2           * = Launches Calculator
BASS_DOWN               = 
BASS_BOOST              =
BASS_UP                 =
TREBLE_DOWN             =
TREBLE_UP               =
MICROPHONE_VOLUME_MUTE  =
MICROPHONE_VOLUME_DOWN  =
MICROPHONE_VOLUME_UP    =
HELP                    =
FIND                    =
NEW                     =
OPEN                    =
CLOSE                   =
SAVE                    =
PRINT                   =
UNDO                    =
REDO                    =
COPY                    =
CUT                     =
PASTE                   =
REPLY_TO_MAIL           =
FORWARD_MAIL            =
SEND_MAIL               =
SPELL_CHECK             =
DICTATE_OR_COMMAND_CONTROL_TOGGLE =
MIC_ON_OFF_TOGGLE       =
CORRECTION_LIST         =
MEDIA_PLAY              = Play
MEDIA_PAUSE             = Pause
MEDIA_RECORD            = 
MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD      = Ahead by 10s
MEDIA_REWIND            = Back by 10s
MEDIA_CHANNEL_UP        =
MEDIA_CHANNEL_DOWN      =
DELETE                  =
DWM_FLIP3D              =

* asterisked commands can be changed in registry
! this command always launches annoying "Beta version" dialog, then opens browser and directs to foobar home page, even if I try to control other existent window class like MPC!

WM_APPCOMs are Windows advantage for easily managing various remote controls or control programs/scripts

As it seems that main foobar control feature are keyboard shortcuts, being the only way to accomplish certain actions, I would like to propose making WM_APPCOMMANDs bind to keyboard shortcuts
