I'm using Windows XP +SP3 and Visual Basic 6

For the life of me, I can not play MP3 audio files with MMControl.

WAV files play OK. The MP3 files play using other commerical audio players so I know the file is OK.

Here's my code:

MMControl1.Command = "close"
MMControl1.Notify = False
MMControl1.Wait = True
MMControl1.Shareable = False

MMControl1.FileName = ProgPath + "James.mp3"
MMControl1.Command = "Open"
MMControl1.Command = "Play"

I have tried adding MMControl1.DeviceType with "WaveAudio" and
"MPEGVideo" but I get the same results: WAV plays, MP3 does not.

I have downloaded a couple of VB6 MMControl programs from Planet Source that are reported to play MP3 audio but I get the same results. WAV yes, MP3 no.

Are there any other settings that I need to make to get this thing to work?

All help is greatly appreciated!!
