The following code plays an audio file (.wav):
Does anybody know how to play a .mp3 file?Code:Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
'-------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub PlaySound()
Dim SoundFile As String, Result As Long
SoundFile = "mysound.wav"
Result = sndPlaySound(SoundFile, 1)
End Sub
thx, vbzero
Get a mp3 player control.
Use the MCI Api for these things. For the full source (Just a few lines) EMail Me.
I don't want to use any pre-developed controlls!
In code please, thx
Use the mciSendString API function to play mp3 files.
Here's code for a complete mp3 player.

Can someone give me a clue as to how to use this portion of the code above in Matthew Gates post for Win XP?
