Systems, methods, and computer program products for bidirectional control between two or more media players. A first media player is launched on a computer system either manually or automatically. A second media player is subsequently launched. Inter-process communication is established between the first and second media players. The second media player determines if the first media player is playing first media content. If the first media player responds affirmatively, the second media player sends a command via the inter-process communication to the first media player to stop playing. The first player responds to the request from the second player by stopping playback. The second media player then begins playback of a second media content. After the second media content stops playing, the second media player informs the first media player, and the first media player returns to playing the first media content.
