MP3 Decoding

[kinjalgp]

Does anyone know how to decode MP3 songs using VB without any ActiveX controls?

You can use direcx 7.x for it. 'Seek for SDK version'

I dont know how (yet). But i know you can use it.
You will use direct sound to play those mp3 files.

Is there any other way like writing code for playing rather than using some third party components to do it?

If you mean any Intristic VB functions I think the answer is no. You are either going to have to use the player already installed on the computer, some OCX or Direct X (not sure about DirectX). If you did manage to find some way to just use plain VB to decode a MP3 I think thered be a big performance hit.
