Although this feature is not currently available in NoteWorthy Player, you can setup play lists using a Windows 95 batch file.

You create a batch file (*.bat) that executes your play list. The file playlist.zip (2K) provides an example. Save the ZIP contents to your hard disk, in a new folder. You can then run the batch file (double click the PlayList.BAT file) to play both songs. The batch file assumes that NoteWorthy Player is installed in the default location.

Batch files are a historical artifact from the days of DOS, but as in this case, they are occasionally useful. An old DOS manual, perhaps from the library, would probably be a good reference.

Commands used in the *.bat file:

start /wait c:\path\nwplayer c:\path\music1.nwc /play /close
start /wait c:\path\nwplayer c:\path\music2.nwc /play /close

While in a DOS session, you can get help on the "Start" command by running "Start /?" on the command line.
