WinAMP shortcut question

I just reformated, and I am in a bit of a stick.

I had a quick launch icon for winAMP and I had added an extra line that would, when I clicked on it, launch winAMP with my play list already loaded and start playing the songs.

But I forget how I did that.

"C:\Program Files\UTILITIES\Winamp\winamp.exe" "D:\My%20Music" -play

That is what I have right now, but its not working.

Whenever someone installs WinAmp, another species goes extinct.

What would you suggest, WMP? ;-) Actually that's what I use, despite issues. Anyway, why the %20? Isn't that only for HTML? If it's in quotes you should just be able to use a space I'd think.

...O_o

As for your problem WC, maybe you have the cmd line in the wrong order or something. Try:

"C:\Program Files\UTILITIES\Winamp\winamp.exe" -play "D:\My%20Music"

And if that doesnt work, maybe you have to specify a file to play:

"C:\Program Files\UTILITIES\Winamp\winamp.exe" -play "D:\My%20Music\music.m3u"

If these dont work, try looking in the help files or something... or wait for someone who knows what to do to post :wink:

In WinAmp your previous playlist should still be loaded when you re-open WinAmp. If it isn't then the playlist file is read-only (or something as such).

But, number 1, if you put something in quotes you can put a space. Because, it is reading the %20 as "%20" because it's within quotes.
Anyway, if you create a playilst all you have to do is place the path after the path for winamp inside quotes. It will open winamp, load the playlist, and begin playing.

For example:

C:\Music\Winamp\winamp.exe "C:\Music\Winamp\winamp.m3u"

as the target line opens winamp.m3u playlist and plays it in WinAmp (on my machine, your directories are probably different.)

I know it remembers the last playlist I had in it. But I had entered so that if I clicked that shortcut it would load my entire playlist (so if last time I was only listening to one song, it would then load every song this time) And it would also start playing without me having to press play.

The example I gave you does all of that. Try it before you assume it
doesn't work because "-play" isn't there. That command doesn't do
anything anymore as far as I can see.

Well what I did this time was create a playlist file and then with what you suggested and it works. Although I didnt do that last time.
