Hi James,

I see that you can play a wave file for certain commands which is great, but will MP3's ever be included in this?

sure, I think I can add that without too much trouble.

Hi James,

You can actually play MP3 files with the Launch.OpenFile but that brings up the media centre window first, I am just looking at the Window.Close command to see if I can close that window down once the MP3 has played, but even when I say Media Centre Player it does not close the window.

As soon as I have enough money then I am tempted to make a purchase as apart from being frustrating sometimes, but overall it is a pretty good program.

There are many ways to play mp3 files.  For example you could use the launch action with a command line program which can play mp3s.

What are you actually trying to accomplish though?  Do you just want to play a short sound, but you do not have a wav?  It is also quite easy to convert from mp3 to wav.

In any case, the next version of VoxCommando will be able to play mp3 files so you really just need to wait a little bit.

Hi James,

I am just lazy and do not really like wav files as often then are bigger than MP3's.  I have the sound file of wargames, shall we play a game which plays before Hyperspin loads. I'm just messing around at the moment to see what it can do.
