Insert file into playlist instead of starting a new one.

[Gizzmo]

Hi,

I want MM to insert tracks I open from Windows Explorer into the existing playlist, without deleting all the other tracks.

I am using Windows 7 and got a little program called ExtMan to define what should happen when I doubleclick a certain file.

My problem:
There seems to be no command line parameter to achieve my goal.

Code: Select all

Command line options
   A number of flags can be set when running MediaMonkey from the command line:
   /NoSplash      - don't show splash screen when starting MediaMonkey 
   /Next          - play files after the current track
   /Add           - add files to the Now Playing queue
   /Party         - start up in Party Mode
   /Play          - start up and play whatever is currently in the Now Playing queue
   /ResetToolbars - resets toolbar configuration to default settings

   You can use these options as follows: 
   MediaMonkey /NoSplash /Add "My song.mp3"

/Next does not play the file instantly,
/Add moves it to the end of the list, and
/Insert, which would play the Song right away at the actual playlist position is missing

Or is it?

You can do this with a little change in the registry.

The keys you have to change are: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaMonkey...

I wrote a small script for this. You can download it here:

Just download the files and open it with notepad to see what the scrpit will do.

I just saw that my little hack doesn't solve your problem. It has the same options like ExtMan...
