Just sending the media keys won't play a CD by itself. These keys were originally designed to be used by keyboard that have special "media" or "internet" buttons on the top (like mine ) but will not play a CD so to speak. This will only send the play, next track, etc commands to your default player, if it's active.

If you want to play files, how about queueing them up in winamp (or whatever player you use) with command line switches? If you use winamp, check my Misc folder on my Projects FTP link (see my signature) for a program called CLEveR.exe, which can let you control winamp 2.x and 5.x from the command line (or through AutoIt since you can use the command interperter.)

Terminating the script will stop the sound (if it is still playing).

That works well if you don't have 2 GB of ogg music

I have a question regarding the SoundPlay function...

Which audio formats can it play?

Thanks ok if it don't work as I can make players in MMB and use the open /close with MMB ..

Would be nice if we could start making stuff like that with autoit .

(hint hint)

Eh, I think that, you could use the "Global Hotkeys" included since Winamp 5.02, in your script.

Would that be winamp playing then ?

or autoit . I don't want to make a short cut to winamp just a new player ..
