This option plays the song that is currently selected in the playlist.

This option "un-pauses" the current playing song.

-seeknext
This does the same thing as the "next song" button.

-seekprev
This does the same thing as the "previous song" button.

-startsong <filename>
This option will play a song out of the playlist. It will never add a song to the playlist, only play one that is already in it.
