Reply: (edit)Yes you can. This is how I've done it: cd /d "%programfiles%\videoLAN\VLC"
start /min vlc "%systemroot%\media\tada.wav" vlc:quit You have to have VLC installed. "Computer security." — Oxymoron

Reply: (edit)It uses whatever app is 'assocuated' with the file. In my case, VLC for wav; MusucMatch for MP3 and m3u; and so on

Reply: (edit)Thank you. But is there a way that the sound just plays without having to open up a program. (Tell me if I am not specific) I hope you can help!

Reply: (edit)Actually, it's a hack, but there is a way. I'm hesitant to mention it, because it leaves an uncloseable copy of WMP running:
@echo CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "wmplayer " ^& Chr(34) ^& "Sound file here" ^& Chr(34), 0 > a.vbs
@a.vbs //nologo Yeah, it opens up a program (two of them, actually), but graphically, the user can't tell.
