      Hi, please can anyone help with my query.
      I am looking to find a way that I can play audio samples in Notepad plus plus that are saved as MP3 files on my computer.
      I am doing a further education course in web design and I have to create a basic 3 page website on a subject of my choice using html.
      I want to do one for the band I’m in. And as
      we have a CD of our music I thought I would do a website of the band and put a track listing of the CD on there with 30 second samples of the beginning of all of the tracks.
      I have looked at several You Tube videos and have got as far as creating an audio play link in Notepad ++ but the link is greyed out and doesn’t work.
      Can someone kindly tell me where do I need to store the CD files and do I have to save them in a different format for them to be recognised in Notepad ++
      If anyone has a solution for me it would be much appreciated.

      Many thanks

      Jerome

        If this is a question about how to write an HTML document, you’ve come to the wrong forum.

        If you’re not certain what I mean by this, ask yourself whether you would still have this exact question if you were writing this document in Notepad or another text editor instead of Notepad++.

          Basic answer, is you can’t. Notepad++ is not a browser, and is definitely not an MP3 player. From the text of your message, you are very confused about what Notepad++ can do, and what it is designed to do.

            If you mean that you’d have a text file which has some pathnames to MP3 tracks in it, e.g. D:\MyMusic\Rolling Stones\YouCantAlwaysGetWhatYouWant.mp3, and you want that to appear underlined so that when you double-click on it, another program opens up and plays the track…

            Then that should be reasonably doable by adding a PythonScript solution…

            Because sometimes you can get what you want. :-)

              Hello, @jerome-farrell, @mark-olson, @lycan-thrope, @alan-kilborn and All

              @jerome-farrell, from the example of absolute path, provided by @alan-kilborn, you may also use the syntax, below :

              file:///D:\MyMusic\Rolling%20Stones\YouCantAlwaysGetWhatYouWant.mp3

              Note that any space, in the path, must be replaced by the string %20, like between the words Rolling and Stones

              Then, if a file containing this link, is opened in N++, a simple double-clic would start this song in your default music software !

              Best Regards,

                Guess I learn something everyday. I never double click links…so never thought that NPP did that launch. Oh well, I stand corrected. :-)
