Hi,

You can play a MP3 file with win API ot with the MMControl1.
Use the winapi function "Playsnd" if you want to use it.
Rename a MP3 file to a .wav file!

And use this source code.
(You don't need the

Private Sub Form_Load()

'Set the Wait and Notify properties of the MCI control
MMControl1.Wait = True
MMControl1.Notify = False

'Specify the Device type for the MCI control (WaveAudio)
MMControl1.DeviceType = "WaveAudio"

'Specify the MP3 audio file name (with the .WAV extension)
MMControl1.FileName = App.Path & "\mp3samp.wav"

'Open the MCI control
MMControl1.Command = "open"
'Now the MCI control buttons are enabled, click the 'Play button
'to play the sound file.
'You can click the 'Prev', 'Back', 'Stop', 'Pause', etc. to move
'forward and backward or to pause or stop the play.

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

'You must close the MCI control before closing your application
'to properly manage multimedia resources
MMControl1.Command = "close"

End Sub
