Hi Guys,
Thanks for a VERY speedy answer, I am learning more and more about Winamp and am compleatly won over, I don't want to make any egos grow, but I think Winamp is most superior !!
One small problem remains. I have entered the following into my code :- stAppName = "C:\Program Files\winamp\winamp.exe /ADD D:\mp3\Latin\Trovador\Africando.mp3"
Call Shell(stAppName)
But it won't work.The track title is loaded into the playlist but without the running time and it refuses to play no matter how many times I prod it
Any suggestions ??
Michael
PS
I have seen mention of Winamp 3, can I download it yet?

I think you meant to post this here:

Maybe you accidently clicked "post a new topic" rather than "post a reply"?

Anyway, my programming skills & knowledge are pretty basic, but as far as command lines go, I think you need to move the end quotation mark, eg.
"C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" /ADD D:\mp3\...etc...
If the path to the file you wish to ADD includes any spaces, then it'd be:
"C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" /ADD "C:\My Music\MP3\Top Tunes\title.mp3"
Basically, all quotation marks in the above examples are necessary.
An instance where no quotation marks would be necessary (no spaces in path/s):
C:\Progra~1\Winamp\Winamp.exe /ADD C:\MP3\Title.mp3

Hope this helps ?!?!
