heya

some long time back, I remember this was possible, however I've now forgotten how it was I did it, and I can't find anything from search button, so hopefully one of you guys know how to do it

Basically what I want, is lets say I have film Pushing Tin over 2 avi files, Pushing Tin cd1.avi and Pushing Tin cd2.avi, there was some method by writing a txt file, kind of like a .bat file, and renaming it to .avi or something, listing the files you want to open, so that when cd1.avi had finished playing, then cd2.avi would auto kick in, and so on so forth for every single.

I tried just using it as just each file listed line by line in the file, however that didn't work...so am assuming I needed to have some paramaters adding before the filename in order for mediaplayer to know what to do.

anyone please help with this?

thanks in advance,
Tuck

doh heh, just found by playing about with asx files and making playlists...easiest way using WMP9 is dragging a couple of files into there, then choosing to save playlist as an asx file....cheers for reading anyway
