Batch File To Play A Song

Question

I have a bit of a situation, I need to make a batch file play a song on a program I have made, but here is the catch, I need the player to be invisible, you must not see it, is there any way of doing this so the song will play once the end?

Thanks :D

Answer 1

Here is a Bat/VBS to play an audio file :

@echo off
set file=track12.mp3
( echo Set Sound = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7"^)
  echo Sound.URL = "%file%"
  echo Sound.Controls.play
  echo do while Sound.currentmedia.duration = 0
  echo wscript.sleep 100
  echo loop
  echo wscript.sleep (int(Sound.currentmedia.duration^)+1^)*1000) >sound.vbs
start /min sound.vbs

Answer 2

wv_player is a freeware player that can play audio media from a command prompt.
