Put this in your init file: (defun rriley-start-mplayer-playlist-player (file-name &optional extra-arguments) (let ((bongo-mplayer-extra-arguments '("-playlist"))) (funcall 'bongo-start-mplayer-player file-name extra-arguments))) (add-to-list 'bongo-backends 'rriley-mplayer-playlist t) (put 'rriley-mplayer-playlist 'bongo-backend '(rriley-mplayer-playlist (constructor . rriley-start-mplayer-playlist-player) (pretty-name . "mplayer with `-playlist'"))) Then use C-u RET to play the track that needs `-playlist' and choose your custom player from the list. It would be nice to handle this out-of-the-box, though. Thanks for the report.
