Hi, Just to quickly pick up on the jukebox idea. Yes, this is possible, so long as you don't mind some command line programming ...
Assume QWS is on your Path - it can easily be made that way. Assume: you have a folder full of MIDI files. Then try this command line: cmd cd ...\...\...\ ; the name of the folder you want to play for %a in (*.mid) do start /wait qws /p /q %a Hope this helps. With best regards, James.
