ok looking threw the msdn library. i find nothing on winmm.dll api in vb. for every thing and i find asll this really kick @$$ c++ things. i cannt find any advanced stuff on the sites. so here i am. i need to know how to do a few things.

1. how to program Const in api

2. how to do all those c++ things in vb, one of the things i want to do is get all this info about a mp3 so i looked it up and its c++. i put this code in
MsgBox (i = mciSendString("info %s %s %s", 0&, product, 0&)), vbCritical
to c c++ code then go into msdn library and look this up cdaudio info. huge table thier.

3. why this code dosent work to play a cd on my computer.
Dim i as Long
i = mciSendString("open type CDaudio", 0&, 0&, 0&)
i = mciSendString("play CDaudio from 0", 0&, 0&, 0&)
