Playing CD's.

I was just wondering, is there a DLL or something that has functions for playing a CD? I've been trying to think of a program to make, and i thought, heck, why not make a CD player. I think i will make it a simple console APP. Also, would it have functions in there for skipping ahead and such? Or, are there API calls for this? Am i completely insane for even thinking this possible? Any input would help greatly. :D

Just so you don't get stuck here: I made a media player but I don't think I got it to work with CD's.....I used mmsystem.h (winmm.lib) just to let you know :)

Good Luck

What did it play? MP3's?

Oh, and did it not play CD's because you couldn't figure it out? or because you just didn't do it?

Anyway thanks, i'll look into mmsystem.h. As long as it plays something. :D

BTW, i am still interested in CD's if anyone knows how

You need the mmsystem.h (winmm.lib) because the mciSendString is defined there. Use that API to play a CD.
