There a few ways in which you can control
Winamp via the command line though to get more
there are plugins/applications available to
expand on what is provided. Check out the
plugin
section to see what is out there since the
options here are limited.
/ADD: If Winamp is already
running then this will add C:\mp3\whatever.mp3 to
the end of the playlist of the currently running
Winamp. If Winamp is not running then this will
open Winamp and start playing the file.
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe /ADD
C:\mp3\whatever.mp3
/NEW: This will start a new
instance of Winamp even if Winamp is already
running
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe
/NEW
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe
C:\mp3\file.mp3
(Plays the file C:\mp3\file.mp3, regardless of
whether or not Winamp is open)
/CLASS: This will open Winamp
with a different Window Class name,
"myclassname" instead of the default
("Winamp v1.x")
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe
/CLASS="myclassname"
Despite the options available via the command
line being rather limited, it is really easy to
get started with though. Something else to take
note of is that you are able to specify multiple
files and/or directories on the command line,
such as:
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe /NEW
"C:\my mp3s\" "C:\bigplaylist.pls"
"C:\download\new song.mp3"
