Hi,

If I put an audio CD in my computer then it plays all the tunes. What
if I had ripped the songs and now have them on my HDD ? How could I
get them to play without clicking on one wave file after another ?

Is there a program that runs one wave file after another ? Like some
screen saver programs show one picture after another ?

I guess a batch file could work but I am not sure of the syntax. Has
anyone got any recommendations/suggestions/input please ?

Regards, John.

You can simply create a playlist, that is a simple text file with all
the files names you want to play in it. You can create it for example
with WinAMP, SnackAMP, Zinf, XMplay...

Or with the command line when you are in the directory with the wav's:
dir -b -o *.wav > playlist.m3u

bye,

Any music software that has a playlist should do what you want. Most
players do come with them and I think most play wav format. Look at the
ones at pricelessware.org or use whichever players came on your computer.

Foobar will play all wave files in a folder. Right click-->Play in
foobar2000. http://www.foobar2000.org/
If you want a pretty skin to go with it:
http://www.btinternet.com/~sean.m.kelly/
This skin rules:
http://www.btinternet.com/~sean.m.kelly/fooamp/

IMO, the best Mp3 player.

Also, a wav file will be about 10 times the size of the equivalent mp3 on
your h/d so it's probably worth converting them.

Probably so, but unless you're really, really into music and don't mind
tweaking hundreds of options, I might choose Quintessential Player
(www.quinnware.com).
