How does it work?

The only thing i can do ist click on "play", its a javascript-Button.

Can i use Winamp or MediaMonkey or something like that?
I searched for Informations but cant find them anywhere...

External player will send the playlist to your default desktop player. So if your in Windows and WMP is your default, it will open and play your selections.

no... it doesn't.
Nothing happens... I use Winamp and Mediamonkey.
But there is no Playlist, not in playlist-folder, not in any player... just like the function is called "noop".

Go to Control Panel, Default Programs, Set your default programs, then select your default media player and select "Set this program as default."

I'm having an issue where I set subsonic to use an external player and not transcode files. Whenever there is a playlist that has both mp3 and flac files in it the player craps out going from one format to the other.

Basically the root of the problem occurs because in the stream url there's a GET variable requirement for suffix=.mp3 or suffix=.flac and when the playlist transitions from mp3 to flac files the suffix is no longer valid. I don't even get why this GET variable is necessary.
