    mciSendString MP3

    How would I go about playing an mp3 with a space in the filename?

    eg. the file "C:\mp3 - 1.mp3"

    I'm running windows xp, how can I play a file that is in the following directory?
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Matts\Desktop\mp3\mp31.mp3"

    I'm having troubles with these two things, lol.

    Thank you

    Have you tried placing double quotes around the file name? This is generally the way around spaces in strings.

    "\"name of file\""

    You need to quote delimit ONLY the file name or command line.

    If I am correct (unlikely ), then you have put the entire parameter list in double quotes. You need to:

    "\"C:\\mp3 - 1.mp3\""

    The other parameters are separate.
