I want to create a CD which will have several different folders that contains MP3s. I want to set it up so that when the CD is inserted it brings up a menu that lists the folders. I know how to do everything I've mentioned so far.

What do I have to do so that when the person clicks on a menu item all the MP3s in that folder are queued up in the default MP3 player? I suppose an alternative is to include a simple freeware MP3 player on the CD that doesn't need to be installed, if therre is such a thing. But I still need to know how to queue up the songs.
 
sync- welcome to the boards- read this: http://www.slackmaster2000.com/articles/streamingtutorial.htm

it isnt exactly what you asked for but heres the premise- when the user clicks a link- the link will execute a mp3 playlist (.m3u)- not an mp3 file- containing all of your listed songs- they dont even need to be in the same folder- just properly refernced-

i would be interested in hearing you you are doing the first part- the autoplay Cd-Rom- are you just using html to launch in the users browser- or do you have a nice exectutable interface?

-by the way- i havent actually tried this but i see no reason why it wouldnt work- just watch the syntax- it may take some trial and error- good luck
 
I thought about using an m3u playlist. I'm not sure how widely used it is. Do most MP3 players support it?

I'm not sure yet how I'm going to handle the menus. I have to decide how fancy I want to get and how much time to spend on it.
 
windows media player and winamp (the 2 biggens) and almost all other player support playlists- i think win amp will even help you make em
