needed a music source to implement “Music on Hold” in our

office phone system. In the past, personal CD/MP3 players have

sufficed, but none would last more than a year playing continuously.

All the inexpensive I-Pod type MP3 players I found couldn’t

play and charge at the same time. The solution came in the form of

MPG123 playing a folder of MP3 files on an old XP computer running

unattended in the phone closet, still doing batch file document

from the sound device property details as described earlier.

This batch file can be initiated directly from a scheduled task
|
||
|
|
created to launch when windows starts (or other trigger). Each
|
||
|
|
version of Windows has its own idiosyncrasies starting a batch file
|
||
|
|
from a scheduled task, and I recommend a Google search if you have
|
||
|
|
difficulties. Ditto for having the batch file run in a minimized CMD
|
||
|
|
window, or no window at all. Consider flushing all console output
|
||
|
|
(stdout and stderr) when you invoke the batch file from a scheduled
|
||
|
|
task. For this batch file saved as PLAYEM.BAT- enter “PLAYEM >
