When using Nokia Music, or any other audio streaming app on Windows Phone, is there any way of detecting what track is being played, like you would be able to with a normal audio file being played locally (through the Music+Video Hub), via the MediaPlayer object?
any other audio streaming app on Windows Phone
You definitely can do it with my audio streaming app. While it plays something in background, press a volume up or down button, and you'll see the artist & title of the song being played:

I want to control the external running Windows Media Player application using C#. For example, I want to send the play or pause command to the process of the running exe-file "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe", which was started by the user and is playing a playlist. How can this be done instead of embedding a windows media player control?
Is there a way other than creating a page with CapturePreview control inside to capture a photo with the camera and set it to an Image object. I need to launch the phone's camera instead of this http://www.romasz.net/how-to-take-a-photo-in-windows-runtime/
There is no "Phone Camera" some phones have the "lumia camera", some just have a "Camera" it is simply an app which might be different in each phone, so no, there is no way to launch the camera and take a photo with it. You can however access the photo library and pick photos.

Is there any way to play youtube live stream on Windows Phone 8 & C#?
1) I have tried mytoolkit: it can play simple video but shows "no_video_urls_found" on live events.
2) Mobile IE shows "Live event playback is not supported on this client" so I cannot use browser to play it.
Here is YouTube channel which contains live events I would like to play.
Is there any other way to play live stream with Windows Phone 8?
Besides Flash streaming, YouTube uses HLS. HLS is from Apple and means "HTTP Live Streaming". It's not standardized, but Apple tries to do so.
This means you need to find the URL and then can use any library which can decode HLS, e.g. Windows Phone Streaming Media and then play the stream in a video player, where 2 examples are given at given the Codeplex site.
