Hi Benjamin,

If you want to play a track in a directory, you first need to call
apps/tree.c:build_playlist(). Secondly, your assumptions about play_list()
are not quite correct. If you want to play a track in a directory, the
arguments would be:

int play_list(char *dir, // Absolute pathname of directory (NOT
the mp3 file)
              char *file, // NULL
              int start_index, // Index, in directory, of the track you
want to play
              bool shuffled_index, // FALSE (only needed for shuffle play)
              int start_offset, // file offset
              int random_seed, // 0 (only needed for shuffle play)
              int first_index, // 0 (index to first track in playlist)
              int queue_resume, // FALSE (only needed for queue mode)
              int queue_resume_index ) // 0 (only needed for queue mode)

Take a look at apps/tree.c:start_resume() to see how play_list() is used for
both directories and playlist files.
