Hi Reimar, Alex asked: >> 'mplayer -playlist playlist.txt' >> Is there a way to individually provide options >> in the playlist.txt? Reimar replied: > No, but ... >> # cat playlist.txt >> -af volume=10 mysong1.mp3 >> <snip> > ... in this case file-specific config files > might be good enough for you. This is terrible. 1. For the user She has to face the nightmare of creating and maintaining 'mysong1.mp3.conf' files for all the songs in her playlist(s) needing options. Note: In my wishful example, she could easily "cut and paste" a line like above each time she uses "mysong1.mp3" in a playlist. 2. For MPLAYER Instead of simply parsing (in memory - fast) a line like "-af volume=10 mysong1.mp3", it has to search for and process the extra "conf" file for each song in the originally read-in playlist! True, to develop the additional, simple parsing code and add it to the main program is hard in a global economic crisis. Anyway, Thank you very much for the clear and prompt answer. Best wishes, -- Alex
