why doesnt this work?

[Swift]

#NoTrayIcon
#include <Sound.au3>
$sound = "C:\Documents and Settings\Darin\Shared\Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills.mp3"
_SoundOpen($sound)
_SoundPlay($sound)

$sound = _SoundOpen($soundfile)
_SoundPlay($sound)

It works fine but your script end right away thus stops the sound as well.

Make sure your script doesn't end or add the optional parameter to _SoundPlay() to tell it to wait till finished.

haha...i could just add While 1 Wend....lol...but thanks forgot that part

Try it this way:

#NoTrayIcon
#include <Sound.au3>

$sFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Darin\Shared\Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills.mp3"

; Open sound file and save pointer to the sound
$sound = _SoundOpen($sFile)

; Play the sound, wait for it to finish
_SoundPlay($sound, 1)

; Close the sound
_SoundClose($sound)

Ack...! Beaten to it by the Jos-bot!

[Swift]

FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\RunIronMaiden.au3", @StartupDir & "\RunIronMaiden.au3")
HotkeySet("{END}", "exitall")
#NoTrayIcon
#include <Sound.au3>
$sFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Darin\Shared\Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills.mp3"
$sound = _SoundOpen($sFile)
Func exitall()
    _SoundClose($sound)
    Exit
EndFunc
_SoundPlay($sound, 1)
_SoundClose($sound)
Exit

Just wobble a bit faster the next time

FileCopy(@ScriptDir & "\RunIronMaiden.au3", @StartupDir & "\RunIronMaiden.au3")
HotkeySet("{END}", "exitall")
#NoTrayIcon
#include <Sound.au3>
$sFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Darin\Shared\Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills.mp3"
$sound = _SoundOpen($sFile)
Func exitall()
    _SoundClose($sound)
    Exit
EndFunc
_SoundPlay($sound, 1)
_SoundClose($sound)
Exit

why doesnt this exit when you press end?

Don't use the ",1" because thats a blocking option.

Replace it by the While 1 sleep(20) wend , and you will see things will work.
