Looking for small MP3 playing dll or something

[Hypermommy]

Hi y'all,

The project I'm responsible for maintaining is deployed on a Windows CE .NET device that was built without Media Player or anything that I find to play MP3s. It uses the OpenNETCF.Multimedia.Audio.Player to play WAV files but I'd like to be able to play MP3s since they're so much smaller (I heard.. true?). I can't rework the OS or anything becuase 1) we have too many units in the field to make that feasible and 2) I'm not sure I know how. So....

Anyone know of a DLL or some kind of small application that I could send out with my code that I could call from within my code to play these MP3s? I'm guessing I'd probably have to load it when the app loads and let it stay resident in the background so it could play the MP3s quickly, but that'd probably be okay.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Directx plays mp3's and wavs and pretty much anything else. If you install the the directx software library. Problem is I've found that it doesn't play all mp3's. It crashes on some. Then there is another one called bass.dll. I haven't tried that one yet, but it sounds like it would work better than directx.
