What I did was write a simple media player that uses no CPU usage at all... With one problem. When a song ends, I have to manually start the next one.

Is there something like:

Code:

Loop
{
     SoundPlay, C:\Song%Num%.MP3
     WaitSoundPlayDone
     Num += 1
}

Of course, it doesn't look like this, but is there a way to detect when it's not playing anymore and still use low CPU usage?

Perhaps something along the lines of this

Code:

Start:
  SetTimer, PlaySong, -1
  return

PlaySong:
  SongIsDone := false
  SetTimer, CheckIfDone, 100
  SoundPlay, C:\Song%Num%.MP3, Wait
  SongIsDone := true
  return

CheckIfDone:
  if SongIsDone
    {
    Num++
    SetTimer, CheckIfDone, Off
    Gosub, Start
    }
  return

Maybe someone else has a simpler idea

I had already considered the idea of a timer, but they tend to start to use CPU usage, which is what I'm mainly trying to avoid.

It's a full media player and uses 0% of mine evn while playing and cycling music. The point is for using it while gaming to reduce lag and skipping.

EDIT: Wait... Does SoundPlay,,Wait actually wait until the song is done before continuing? I could use that!

Yup! That is exactly what you should use in this situation.
