PlayWithMedia: Play selected files/folder with media player

[serendipity]

A simple script to play selected files or files inside folders with media player(s).
I have included 4 players:
Windows Media Player (default), XMplay, K-lite's Media Player Classic and Winamp.
Uncomment the one you want to use.

Notes:
1) You can select both folders and files in one go, the script will automatically include files inside the folders in the play list.
2) I have included only few audio extensions, you can add more audio/video extensions if you want.
3) The number of files you can include in playlist depends on how long your paths are. Shorter paths=more files.

thanks I'm going to try using it to play video files with sm player - will report back if it does/doesn't work

yes it works fine with Splayer of course wmplayer plays video too but I prefer Splayer. I'm only using it to play one file of course.
