Keithuk Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wellcome to Piriform Scott. mplay32.exe /play /close TADA.WAV I've used that for many years with Sndrec32.exe and you don't have to tell it which files to play either. Thats what I use you play wave files because they aren't normally that big. if you use WMP to play them by the time its opened up and play the file it a waste of time. You can do exactly the same to mid files rather that WMP I use the default Mplayer.exe. There is also Mplayer2.exe in the WMP folder.

You're right buddy, but Microsoft had the "foresight" to make sndrec not work anymore if you have >2GB memory inXP. Brilliant. No planned fix.

No planned fix. I wasn't aware of that Scott. I have 2GB of ram on my WinXp at work. I shall have to see if it works.

scott.ager Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've been using homemade batch files to remove junk and defrag for many years:Defrag Only, Defrag Log Off, Defrag Restart, and Defrag Shutdown Me too, since I started programming before Windows, CP/M, and the like. I pity those youger types who don't know reach into the DOS toolbox when needed. Anyway, my batch file is no big deal. I just thought it was cute how two useful utilities, from the same source, could be cobbled together so nicely to do an all too often necessary chore. Better than having the dinner table clean itself up while you watch the TV, ha ha. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The below line for sound is better. Microsoft says sndrec32.exe has a problem in XP with more than 2GB installed. But only for recording. The /embedding switch prevents the popup GUI. "sndrec32.exe /embedding /play /close TADA.WAV" (farm animal sounds permitted) Cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
