Reply: Yes you can. This is how I've done it:
cd /d "%programfiles%\videoLAN\VLC"
You have to have VLC installed.

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

Reply: 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:Sound file here " ^& Chr(34), 0 > a.vbs
