Is there a good way to control my media player by voice in windows xp?

I'd really like something trainable that I could command "Play Lord of the Rings." for example. But even just being able to play, pause & put the monitor to sleep would be useful.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Voice commands can be given to Windows XP using Microsoft's Speech Recognition software.

Here is how to install and configure it:

Here is some specific information on how to configure it to work with your media:

I think that the program is still out there and working... I just had a peek on my old XP system and it's working!

As an alternative, you could try this in vista:

Or Nuance (formally Dragon) Naturally Speaking:

Microsoft has discontinued that product, unfortunately. Are there any non-MS versions?
