Some command arguments?

MrRobot · 29th January 2009, 11:23

Hey guys,

I need to know some command-line arguments to play a file from the command prompt.

Like 'winamp myfile' plays the file.
Is it possible to;

1) start winamp minimized if it needs to launch as the first instance

2) Don't clear the playlist while playing the file, this can be by adding the file to the playlist or playing the file without touching the playlist.

Thanks!

Thanks J_Damley, seen those ones before, so there are no builtin arguments to accomplish this.

/ADD will only enqueue not play. If Enqueue and Play is working for you then this should do both:
"C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" /ADD "\\QUEUE" "%1"
(as copied from my Folder Options)
