    Is it possible for me to play MP3 files using the MCI architecture?

    Yes. It's the mpeg device.

    When I look in MSDN, I see no such device. Only dat, wave, and synth (MIDI), and so on.

    Its prob just like in VB where you send a string with the file name to the MCI device. Sorry I dont have code for you.
    MSVS 6, .NET & .NET 2003 Pro
    I HATE MSDN with .NET & .NET 2003!!!

    Naaaa... Didn't work.
    I tried using the MPEGVideo device name,
    because when I look in the WIN.INI file,
    I see that ".MP3" files is of type MPEGVideo.
    And the SYSTEM.INI file contains an MCI device named:
    MPEGVideo that refers to the correct DLL file for the driver.
    I use the Xing MP3 player's driver.
    But I get a "MCI_ERR_FILEREAD" error.
    Anyone had the problem?

    Don't worry, everyone! I fixed mine own problem.
    I used the correct device, but I misspelled the mp3 file name. Thanx 4 yer time.
