OTHER\new.mp3

This file would instruct the player to first play the file rock.mp3, then classical.mp3 and then the file new.mp3 which is in the directory OTHER before accessing a song on the local network. Then it plays a movie clip in [[MP4]] format from the web and lastly switches to a [[web radio]] station.
