How do you get speech dictated without adding it to a grammar list?

.NET

I'm new to Speech Recognition, and I'm working on a project that will receive a command from a recognizable list.

For example, I would say "Play song". The computer would ask the song title, and I can say it. It will then compare my answer to my music library and find it.

I know how to add recognizable grammar to the SpeechRecognizer object, how to make the computer speak, and how to play a song in iTunes. I cannot, however, figure out how to get it to dictate or listen and interpret something that isn't in the grammar list. Is there a method I'm missing? Or not yet been simplified by Microsoft? I have no code to show for this, as I am not even sure how to search for this particular idea.

Of course, I could have the program read my entire library, but that's not an optimal solution considering I have tens of thousands of songs. Thanks in advance!

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
