    I have not tried some of the suggestions here but I am using Windows 7 64 and my media player of choice is JRiver Media Center 18. IMHO, the boss of media players! I have it set as default and all the icons on my music files have the MC18 logo. If I click directly on the music file outside of OrangeCD it will open using MC18, but if I click on play/queue inside of OrangeCD it opens WMP. Anyone have a solution to this or have a different media player running through OrangeCD? Perhaps I am missing something.

    See my post above (or below depending on how you are viewing threads ;O) Click on the image for a larger view... that works for me. Don't know if the player you are using supports command line parameters. Everything after the EXE will need to be in the format from your player.. Nothing after the .EXE is used by OCD.. just passed to you player. So it can be different for different players.

    Hi frederf,
    Thanks much but at the moment it isn't working. I contacted Andrei via email and will wait for a response from him. I will also contact J. River to see if they have any input. I'll keep checking back here.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 18\Media Center 18.exe" --one-instance "%1"

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 18\Media Center 18.exe"--one-instance --playlist-enqueue "%1"

    Media Center opens but does not play track.

    OK... first look and read here.. [URL]http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line[/URL] From what I read there your above example is not even close Try figuring it out... looks rather straight forward. Replace the mc16.exe with mc18.exe and where you see "C:\path\to\file.mp3" in the examples replace it with "%1" OCD will replace the %1 with the path and name of the song that you selected. So.. give it shot and let us know if you get it working.. or not fred
