    Question (New Question) PlaySound API, some mp3s work other's dont?

    Any idea why this might be?
    Using the same method to play them. I can only find one MP3 that actually plays. Do they have to be a certain bitrate or something?

    Note that all Wave files that i've tried, work.

    The PlaySound API file can only play wave files, not MP3s. If you've managed to play one MP3 using that function then that file must have been a wave file and not an MP3 regardless of what the file extension said.

    You need the mci control. Download VBmp3Player.rar from my last post in this thread.
