PlayWav is a very simple freeware command-line application that plays a Windows .WAV audio file.

Because it is a command-line program, it can be easily integrated into any type of application. It can be run from batch files, various types of scripts, and even NT services such as a web server.

One popular use of this program is to allow a web server application to play a sound on the web server. For instance, imagine that you are running a web cam on your home computer so that you can watch and listen to your baby, kids, or pets.

By setting up a web server (such as Microsoft Personal Web Server or Internet Information Server) on your home computer, you can create a simple web page with hyperlinks that cause pre-defined .WAV audio files to be played on your home computer's speakers.

For instance, when you hear your dog start barking, just click the No button on your web site and your dog will hear the correction and (hopefully) stop barking.
