How to open server app from web client

[wz2jrz]

I dont know if this question is valid for this forum. is there a way to open a server application by invoking it through a web client?

 

basically i have lots of mp3s on my server that are accessed through the network on client pcs. what i am wondering is there should be a way to click the mp3 link on my client web_page that opens and plays it on media player on the server station. the intent is not to play on client pc but on the server where mp3s reside.

 

anyone has idea or code on how to achieve this?

I just curious why client open mp3 at server? then who listen that song?

 

I think that should be not an issue right? because client can send a request to server, and server just launch the program to play mp3.

 

VB.NET able to play mp3 right? use code-behind to write that function... so? I think ActiveX also able to do that. Server cannot launch client site mp3 player, but from client site should be no problem
