And if you want to launch a playlist from Windows Media player without using a batch file you can create a shortcut under windows of your playlist. (ARC does not seem like launching a playlist directly, but it has no issues with windows Short Cut .lnk files.)

ARC script:

Exec("C:\Users\weyou_000\Documents\EZ-Builder\My Projects\ShortCuts\All 80's.lnk")

That is just another way to do it.

Oh Cool, I just realized Harr Ball's method does not launch a media player, it plays it inside ARC....didn't know it could do that like that, but it makes sense...it must treat it like it is playing a sound board file.

PlayAudio("d:\Music\ACDCBallBreaker\BurninAlive.mp3")

@tevans.

Did I hear my name mentioned, lol?

Yes I did manage to find a way to play my music library via ARC. Thanks to @d.cochran and @thetechguru, I was guided to download and use WinAmp media player then set that as the default player, so everything in my iTunes and Windows libraries play through that, that was then controlled using the command prompt window where you can use controls for volume, play, pause ect.

I have posted the link to that thread which should contain everything you need to know...

Playing music files through ARC

EDIT: I just re-read the whole thread as I was busy earlier, and see that @JustinRatliff posted the link to the above thread already.

BOOM! If anyone wants to control their Windows Media player with play/pause, volume up/down, stop, next track, previous track - this guy just figured out how to do that without an externally downloaded app or a different media player.

Is anyone interested in a tutorial, or should it keep a secret?

EDIT:

Deleted irrelevant post.

@Justin.

Yes a tutorial would be great if you get a chance.

@Justin, Yes, if you have it figured out in wmplayer I would be interested in seeing it. I don't mind using Winamp and Clever, but I am trying to keep installed software to a minimum on my W3, so using something built into Windows would be nice.

You are great! I'll try it rigth now!

I'm not using your method Steve G.

I'm using power shell which comes with windows. It's super easy. I'm sure your method is too, but I like using what windows provides. I'll do up a tutorial and post it soon.
