I'm using VLC 2.0.8 on Windows 7. How do I play two mp3s simultaneously from the command line (command line because to write a batch script that launches the mp3s)? I've tried
vlc 1.mp3 2.mp3
and
vlc 1.mp3 --input-slave 2.mp3
(I've seen the second one as a way to play a video file and a separate audio file simultaneously). Both of these just launch 1.mp3.
Not important, but if you're wondering, the mp3s are respectively cafe sounds and rain sounds, so I can play sounds similar to those found at http://rainycafe.com/ without having to launch a browser.

You need to use the START command and a little batch file.
Your batch will be something like this
START is a command with the following arguments:
Where "TITLE" is any name (enclosed between quotes) and command, in this case, is
vlc
orvlc.exe
. The argument is your.mp3
file.This assumes the batch file is at the same directory VLC is. The batch will run two separate instances of VLC simultaneously. I've tested it in Windows XP and it works.
