    Use DirectShow. Or, better yet, use the excellent FMOD:
    http://www.fmod.org/.

    Yes it does, you have to run fmod.bas through the VB6->VB.NET convertor though.

    Reference the DX activemovie control.

    code:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Option Explicit

    Private BackgroundC As FilgraphManager
    Private BackgroundA As IBasicAudio

    Set BackgroundC = New FilgraphManager
    Set BackgroundA = BackgroundC

    BackgroundC.RenderFile (App.Path & "\night.mp3")
    BackgroundA.Volume = Slider1.Value

    'Options
    BackgroundC.Run
    BackgroundA.Volume = Slider1.Value ' 0 to -10000
    ' 0 is max (WEIRD)
    BackgroundC.Stop

    DirectSound doesn't utilise the DirectShow filters used by Media Player to play Mp3 and Wma files (or maybe OGG, AAC files with downloaded filters). Using DirectShow will do this, but I find FMod to be 'lighter' and more responsive.
