How to add multple urls into media player

Feb 18, 2004 4:24PM PST

Hello,
I have to ask this but is there some way to play multiple url links at one time in windows media player??
Example:
http:/www.amovie.com/roll1.mpeg
http:/www.amovie.com/roll2.mpeg
http:/www.amovie.com/roll3.mpeg
http:/www.amovie.com/roll4.mpeg
Say I want to play all these back to back,how? I have tried putting them in the playlist one at a time but there has to be a easier way!
Why isn't there some way to just copy all the links and then paste them all into the player?
I even tried making .wpl playlist files by using an existing one opened in notepad as an example.It worked but was as tedious if not more so than adding them one by one.
Is anyone interested in creating some sort of program to automatically create a .wpl file??There is a web page that will do some thing of the sort,but it creates .asx files.And the links must in order like this:
xxx.movie.ccc,xxx.movie.ccc,xxx.movie.ccc, ........listed with commas.who list anything with commas??
I have searched google using every keyword combo I can think of and got nothing but music playlist editor,which are just file browsers.

or perhaps another media player??
