(replying to my own post because i am sure the next reply will be how 
does this work)

when you use the above method it will load up all the files in that dir 
to the rawplayer instance (like this)

... Jun18   1:09 /usr/bin/rawplayer fpm-calm-river.raw fpm-sunshine.raw 
fpm-world-mix.raw

by doing so, it will cycle those 3 files. 

you can test it out using a variation of the ael snippet below.

                WaitExten(1);
                Playback(one-moment-please);
                WaitMusicOnHold(5);
                for (x=0; ${x} < 3; x=${x} + 1) {
                        Verbose(3|x is ${x} !);
                        Playback(thnk-u-for-patience);
                        WaitMusicOnHold(5);
                };
                Playback(pls-hold-while-try);


i hope this helps
