You can even chance the on click behaviour to your liking. The default setting is:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add music to the player?

Here is a guide with screenies:)

But for advanced users it's easy:

1. Double click the "create_playlist.bat" in the Playlistmanger folder. (Exit Wow if running!)
   
2. Just drag and drop some mp3 music files/folders into the Playlist-Manager.
   
3. Close EMP-Playlist-Manager (be sure to click "Yes" Save Playlist.)
   

Start WoW and enjoy your music while farming:)

Do I have to copy all of my music files to the wow folder?

No. The Playlist Manager can create links (inside the wow folder) that point to your original music folder. That way wow thinks the files are in the wow folder.

You can enable this by:
Windows Vista:
Just go to "Tools > Options" and change copy to create links.

Windows XP:
Download junction.exe from microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx and put it into the junction folder of the playlist manager.

You should also install "ntfslink" (http://elsdoerfer.name/=ntfslink ) To make the use of the links (junctions) save with windos xp. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point#Windows_XP_Professional for more information.

And now go to "Tools > Options" and change copy to create links.

Why is there no pause button?

Not possible with wow. As is playing a song at a specific position. An addon can only tell wow to play and stop a song thats it.

Troubleshooting

music stops in fight

The music sometimes stops or the wow music starts playing. This is a wow bug. Try to set your sound channels to maximum. Options > Sound & Voice > Sound Channels > High (Maximum) Also try to enable/disable hardware sound. But when lots of sounds are played (raid instance fights) the problem still may occur.

music plays from beginning

The song stops playing and starts from the beginning after a loading screen (e.g. entering an instance or /console reloadui) This is a new wow bug since patch 2.4.3. I only could fix this so far that the song starts from start instead playing the game music. I have reported this in the eu forums but unless someone with an us account finally reports this in the us ui-forum blizzard developers will never know of this because they are not interested in any thing from the eu community.

And it's not the zone change because this was not a problem before 2.4.3 and the music also stops if you try to enter a low level instance in heroic mode. That of course is not possible but you get an loading screen for less than a second and the music played by the game itself or by an addon stops but a zone change event is not fired.

playlist manager not starting

You need the at least Java 6 installed, sry. http:\\java.com

You have installed Java and the playlist manager is still not starting?
Edit the batch file create_playlist.bat (right click -> edit) and change EVERY java.exe to the full path of your LATEST java.exe (see C:\Program Files\Java\).

For instance:
java.exe -version
will become:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -version
and
java.exe -jar EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar
will become:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar
Don't forget the double quotas (") it does not work without them!

playlist manager error

I get the following error with the playlist manager "Could not Find Main Class.Program Will Exit" You get this error when the lib folder is not in the same folder as EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar You can't run the EMP_Playlist_Manager.jar from the zip file, you have to extract the whole zip first.

You miss a feature, don't like something about the player or have a problem to set it up? Please let me know. I look forward to your feedback.
