Question : Problem: Pause between songs on a media player

Ok, so I am in a band and I have a bunch of sound clips. I need some media player that will play one track at a time, and wait for us to hit the spacebar or the play button to play the next track.

THIS IS WHAT I DON"T NEED:   I know that you can set itunes to pause for a certain length of time between tracks, but I need it to WAIT for input before playing the next track.

Something that works on Windows XP or MAC

Answer : Problem: Pause between songs on a media player

Download and install the clamp files to a folder on your Windows hard drive.  For this we'll use c:\clamp as an example.

Now you have a c:\clamp folder with all the clamp files inside it.

Then click on start -> run  and type in
notepad c:\clamp\play.bat
Then hit enter.  That will open up an empty notepad window.

Type in the following into that blank notepad window:

@Echo Off
 
@Echo Playing MySong1
CLAMP /PLCLEAR /PLADD "c:\clamp\MySong1.mp3"  /PLAY
PAUSE
@Echo Playing MySong2
CLAMP /PLCLEAR /PLADD "c:\clamp\MySong2.mp3" /PLAY
PAUSE
@Echo Playing MySong3
CLAMP /PLCLEAR /PLADD "c:\clamp\MySong3.mp3" /PLAY

Of course, you'll need to change the path to reflect where on the computer the files you are wanting to play are actually located.  You can do as many of those lines as you want.  It will use clamp to play the file.  Once that file is done it will go to the next command in the batch file which will be pause.  It will wait until a key is struck and then it will move on to the next command which will play the next song in the file.

Post back if you need more help.
