    Talking How the heck does WinAmp do that?!

    Hello!

    I made this very cool looking (Post it as a Beta-tester-request later) mp3-player , now it would be even one step cooler if I got a way to measure how loud the sound output is. So I can create one of those cool-looking oscilliscopes (You know, the sinus-wave-like thingy on the left in WinAmp )

    Thanx a great lot!

    Have you tried asking Justin?
    for (int i = 0;i < y3k; i++)
    {
    MakeMeSmarter (andMoreTolerant);
    }

    I was busy getting the guys email addy: seems he does not make it public. The Justin I reffered to is Justin of I-am-the-creator-of-WinAmp fame. However, you could try this: http://forums.winamp.com/
    Best of luck!

    Are you still looking for an oscilloscope written in VB.

    If so, please post a reply as I have one.

    Don't think so, but there MUST be a way to succesfully get a oscilliscope.

    It would be handy if the Form files were in it, not a text file.

    Does anyone have code for an oscilloscope?
    Keith

    I've been programming with VB for 25 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.

    An osciloscope is simply displaying the wave data AS IS...

    I have this project in the CodeBank (first thing you should search):
    VB - DirectXSound - An app that plays large WAV files

    If you click on the big picture, you will see an osciloscope also...
