Execution Note (Backgrounding)

Since Winamp is a GUI application, always run it in the background to prevent sessions from hanging. The command will execute as soon as it is sent.

Moltbot exec Usage:

Set background: true in your tool call.

{
  "tool": "exec",
  "command": "\"/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Winamp/winamp.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\file.mp3\"",
  "background": true
}

CLI Usage:

Append an ampersand (&) to the command.

"/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Winamp/winamp.exe" /PLAY &
