From Microsoft about Windows Media Player 6.4:

When starting the Windows Media Player from a command prompt, you can specify several startup parameters.

The Windows Media Player has several command line options:

• /open: Open the file, don't automatically start playing.
• /play: Start playing the file as soon the player is launched.
• /close: Close the player after playback (only works when used with /play).
• /fullscreen: Start the file in full-screen mode.
• /new: Use a new instance of the player.

For example, to play a file and close the media player when finished:

Mplayer2.exe /play /close C:\Asfroot\Sample.asf

So, to answer your questions, the Windows Media Player plays files from disk storage, and appears to play one file per execution.
