Is it possible for me to play MP3 files using the MCI architecture?
Yes. It's the mpeg device.
When I look in MSDN, I see no such device. Only dat, wave, and synth (MIDI), and so on.
Its prob just like in VB where you send a string with the file name to the MCI device. Sorry I dont have code for you.
Maybe I could try the Digital Video one? Then just specify that it is MPEG? Mmmm.... let me see....
Naaaa... Didn't work.
I tried using the MPEGVideo device name,
because when I look in the WIN.INI file,
I see that ".MP3" files is of type MPEGVideo.
And the SYSTEM.INI file contains an MCI device named:
MPEGVideo that refers to the correct DLL file for the driver.
I use the Xing MP3 player's driver.
But I get a "MCI_ERR_FILEREAD" error.
Anyone had the problem?
Don't worry, everyone! I fixed mine own problem.
I used the correct device, but I misspelled the mp3 file name. Thanx 4 yer time.
