LaunchBar Commander (My Music)
« on: June 12, 2009, 06:14 PM »
Just install LaunchBar Commander, and added MY Music folder, as a folder to browse threw...
I can go into a folder, and select a song, and "Windows Media Player" pops up ( BUT !!! )
does NOT play selected song.

Is there a way in LaunchBar Commander to have it play Selected Song, when I browse, threw my music folder ?

This is an interesting question..

One solution of course is to use a different media player besides Windows Media Player, one which starts songs immediately when opened.

Another option would be to RIGHT-CLICK on the music song, and choose "Play".

But perhaps a nice feature would be a way to tell LBC how to open a file selected from a browsed folder node.

Maybe this could be part of the fancy script section once it becomes developed.

Yes, this would be nice, as a (switch) option to turn on if need be...
as it stands, I can browse folder, and select song, but no play (inside launchbar commander),

I use two programs KMPlayer, KMPlayer for vids, and Windows Media Player for Music.

Windows Media Player for Music
Here's my recommendation in case you care:  use something other than Windows media player for music.  I mean, there are a zillion better options that are free.

I just deleted my music folder, I understand about other options... however, Windows Media Player works for me. TKS!
