PLAY

Syntax: #PL filename

Related: #MEDIA

Plays the specified multimedia file. The file type is determined from the file extension of the filename. Tested formats are WAV, MID, AVI. If filename refers to a drive (as in D:), the drive is assumed to point to a CDROM with a musical CD in it.

Note that zMUD does not pause while the media is playing. Also, only one media can be playing at any given time.
