I am trying to launch a .wav file with /exec
It executes fine, but always put my default ebil Apple mpg player as the foreground app and takes me out of EQ. This happens whether I use fg or bg (I presume from what I have read this is foreground or background).
Is there a way to use the /exec command to execute a less 'piggy' sound player specifically for my scripts that plays the target wav file of interest?
Something like?
/exec c:\program files\mysoundplayer.exe 'alert.wav'
Advice welcome....

It look slike you don't use your current player to listen to sounds. A common problem, since Apple, RealPlayer and just about any other 3rd party app will hijack every sound/video/image type they can play. Either uninstall the app or:
Open a directory. Any directory.
Click on Tools.
Click on Options...
Click on File Types tab.
Scroll down the list to WAV file type.
Press the Change button.
Select Winamp or whatever your prefered sound player is.
Press the OK button.
Press the Close button.
As for /exec I would assume that it passes options on to the command line, so you should be able to do as you said above, but I haven't tried it...
