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

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

@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 !

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. :-)

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.

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 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++.
