[music icons]

My question I think is pretty simple but I cannot figure it out..

I work with music I'm a KJ.
QUESTION:
when i open an excel file I have hundreds and hundreds of song titles &
artists names that i've typed in, now what i'm trying to figure out is how
can i next to each and every title insert an icon "don't know the right term
for it" so I can listen to seconds of each song. I tried figuring it out
with hyperlink but that didn't work.

I'm sure it's possible to have done because when I go in music sites there
is an icon next to song titles that you can actually listen to seconds of
each song.

I hope what I wrote is clear and understandable

I hope someone out there can please help me i've been on it for days with no
such luck thks

Jim Cone's Add-in called ListFiles will create a list in Excel of all the
files in a directory and create a link to each. Click on a song and it will
play in Windows Media Player. It will play the whole song tho, so if you
want only a few seconds you must somehow create a special directory with
files in it that are only a the few seconds long...........or perhaps Jim
might be convinced to modify his code to insert the time limit
somehow.......I don't know if that can be done or not.

mi,

John Walkenbach's download will list the details of all of your MP3 files.

As far as I know, it will not play any of the songs.

My List Files add-in hyperlinks the file name and clicking the file name will open the file,
but there is nothing in the add-in to control the play length.
Request it by email - it's free - and comes with a one page Word.doc install/use file.

This will play a song if your cursor is on the cell with the full file name
such as
C:\music\GordonLightfoot\Gordon Lightfoot - Canadian Railroad
Trilogy.mp3


Just right click sheet tab>view code>insert this>SAVE>
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=ActiveCell
End Sub

I already suggested to link to the files last week but the OP obviously
didn't want to go that way
