i need code/ocx for mp3 player, slider required

Hi,

I'm working on a program that plays mp3 files. There has to be a play, pause, rewind, fast forward button, and a slider that the user can use to jump to different sections.

I want this to work on ALL Windows operating systems - 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000, or whatever other operating system that damn company has.

Windows Media player seems an obvious choice - just slot the control in place, right? - but is it safe? Is Media Player the same for all operating systems? I've had experience where MS stuff stops working when they do a so called upgrade, and I'd like to avoid this happening again. Any independent ways of doing it?

Please help.

your best bet is to use mciSendString
