I could imagine, that with html window you could realize this in some way, but I'm not able to program something like this.

This can be done quite easily.

First you need to enable HTML notes:

Tools --> Options --> Display --> select "Use HTML for notes"


Then double click on a profile, and select "Personal Information" or just Press CTRL P

You can then use the following code in the notes section:

<embed src="" hidden="">
<bgsound src="C:\Users\Chris\Documents\DVD Profiler\epg\st-tng.mp3">


This will play one theme only. I guess using some more sofisticated HTML code, you could make a playlist.

You can either create it manually with a text editor (like the good ol' Notepad) or export it with a player software or tagging tool

What also works is to open a command line and den enter

dir *.mp3 /ON /B > playlist.m3u

brimac5477, as I said I'm not good at programming but cvermeylen's advice was quite easy to follow
1. I created a folder in DVD Profiler entitled Soundtracks where I dropped the song Lost-in-Austen.mp3
You can even drop soundtracks in .wma (I've tried and it has worked)
2. I went to  Tools --> Options --> Display --> select "Use HTML for notes
2. In the DVD Lost-in-Austen profile --> Personal information --> In notes : I pasted
<embed src="" hidden="">
<bgsound src="C:\Users\foxstar\Documents\DVD Profiler\Soundtrack\Lost-in-Austen.mp3">
You must change bold names with your own information
For each profile, you must rename the path with the appropriate name of the new soundtrack and add the soundtrack to your Soundtracks file, it takes time but I really enjoy it!
I hope it helps

PS: I've only changed the given path for I couldn''t understand the meaning of epg\st-tng???

Actually, epg is a subfolder where I keep all info and st-tng.mp3 is the title music of Star Trek The Next Generation

ok i tried it out this is the info i used:
<embed src="" hidden="">
<bgsound src="C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Soundtracks\This Is It.mp4"> how do you start the music playing in your individual profile?

I'm not sure if MP4 files are supported. Try converting it to MP3. Then it should start playing by default if the Notes window is active in your layout.

Muckl, thanks for your answer but I'm not good enough in programming, I've tried but could only previewed a black window entitled soundtrack but no sound!
I would have liked to go further so as to get a playlist but I'm afraid of making a mess of it.

You only have to change some words and numbers, not to program 

If you want to give it another try, copy the new code from underneath. After creating the HTML window/section and displaying it in your layout, the Windows Media Player interface should show up for about 6 seconds. After that time an error message is displayed where you can see the path and filenames it searched for. Note: Only the first file that's found will be played.

The only obligatory thing to change is the path to the media and/or playlist files (first red-coloured string here). Have you changed that? And have you created a playlist file in that very folder with the correct name? The new code accepts different filenames: UPC.m3u, UPC.mp3, UPC.LocalityNumber.m3u, UPC.LocalityNumber.mp3 and so on. What kind of mp3 software do you use on your PC? Winamp? Do you need help on creating a playlist?

If you tell me the path to your files and the way you named them (or want to name them in the future), I'll prepare you a ready-made version. And feel free to ask again or to send me a PM.

I refuse to give up on you by now! 

Perhaps you even didn't do anything wrong, but it has something to do with my script and your computer/system configuration. I haven't had the chance yet to test it on different PCs...

although when i when i move from collection gallery to back and front image etc. the song starts over. is this the only way it will work? i would like the song to play continuous while looking over cast , crew, other information etc.. and change when i click on another dvd.  is that possible?

The HTML window I posted works that way. Until you open the WMP window of another profile, the music will continue to play. And mp4 might be supported, too. But it depends on your system, you have to try.

For further help see the comments in the file and my answer to Foxstar's post.


Here's the latest, improved version:

Muckl, I've tried my best but failed...
I don't know how to make a playlist but I 've changed the red-coloured string with C:\\Users\\sony\\Documents\\DVD-Profiler\\Soundtracks    where I put only one song (.mp3) renamed with the same number as the one of the gallery. Am I clear?
and I've got an error message
