Hi guys. I would like to play an MP3 While my batch file is running, I can get it to run in WMPlayer, but when you first install WMPlayer it comes up with the first thing of selecting options...etc.... so is there a way I can get it to play with Media player classic or some other way? Mabie the old cd player? If so, how can i use a command to tell it to open with that program and not wmplayer.

Tell it the program you want it to associate with using command line

run "PathToProgram" "PathToFile" (Note the " " are only required if the path contains spaces)

eg: run "C:\Program Files\MPC\mplayerc.exe" "C:\MP3s\song.mp3"

Should work fine

Thanks! Just one problem though. Got any ideas of programs I can use that windows Allready has on it besides WMPlayer9? It also has to play the file (not just store it in the program and you have you press play to start it)

u could try winamp, install it first then have a batch to call the mp3 and then winamp will open the mp3 automatically and will start playing. though u have to set the associations, so either use winamp msi or try to find switches for nullsoft winamp exe.

also u can use mplayer as godofwar suggested. u can just put the mplayerc.exe into your $oem$/system32 folder and then useing the command line parameters in a batch u'll write call the mp3..

thanks ill try installing winamp first, it sets the assosiations itself (I will be using the MSI). Correct?
