Instant play!?

[senator]

I'm setting up a PC as a stereo and I was wondering if it was possible to make winamp start playing the minute it was loaded so there was no need for pushing play? maybe somekinda dos command like "winamp -play". Is it possible?

The Full Playlist plugin can do this for you. It automatically loads the playlist and starts playing when winamp starts.

To make winamp play the minute you load it with the playlist from the last time you used it, make a shortcut to winamp on your dekstop (or a second one if there is already one there), change the name to "Winamp Autoplay" or something like that.

Now, right-click it and pick "Properties". In there, change the target to
"C:\Progra~1\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.m3u"
There, just like that (quotation marks as well), unless you have winamp installed in another directory. In that case you would just change the C:\Progra~1\Winamp\ parts to whichever directory you use.
Click OK.
That should do the trick of making winamp autoplay when you double-click that shortcut.

Now, if you'd like Winamp to open itself and play every time you start the computer, copy that shortcut file into
C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

I hope this all isn't to difficult for you, and don't worry about it not working because I just tried it on my own computer. Have a nice day
