Open Sesame

Hello fellow geeks. I have another question for you.
Is there a way to open files through console applications?

Something like:
OpenFile("arandomsong.mp3")

Thanks!

Yes

Of course that just opens a file. If you want to play an mp3, that's something else entirely.

I'm not sure if this is entirely on point, but it might help you:

Hehe, though it was entirely off point, it helped me a LOT. Thanks for that.
But still, I need to play the mp3 file with a console application.
Any suggestions?

Found the code :)

If anyone is looking for the same thing, this will get the job done:
ShellExecute();
