1. maybe am the one not doing something right! it now show playlist, but does not automatically play them.

2. i will like it to be able to automatically play so that i don"t need to press the play button manually. this code (mplayer -playlist mylist.txtworks) for mplayer. i guess this is because mplayer is a command line player.

3. thanks alot for your help.

what i really want to accomplish is fairly simple: i drive to work about 8am each day so as soon as i enter the car (8am) i put on the fm radio in the car and i want the my n900 to start playing a specified song or audiobook (in a playlist).

i know the code for the fm transmitter on the n900.

i want to use alarmed to schedule it such that it everything ends/stops after about 45 mins- which is about the time i take to commute to work.
