MP3 Player

Hello everyone,

For my Highschool C++ 2 Final I have to make a MP3 Player. I am coding in Microsoft Visual Studios 2008, Visual C++ of course. I feel overwhelmed with confusion considering I am not very experienced in visual, I have about a month of very basic coding with it. How exactly do you have code to browse for an MP3 and play one. I have my class at 8am-9am, so I have to wait til then to begin coding. I did some research but this just confused me. Any tips, links, code would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks,

You can certainly embed a Windows Media Player control inside your application.

Try googling these phrases:
play mp3 mfc
play mp3 c++
play mp3 win32

I've researched a MP3/MOD player years ago, used FMOD which is a great library. But maybe it's a bit overkill for your purposes.

"Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\Capture\AudioCap" is a good and simple (well, relatively simple :)) example of media recorder/player based on DirectShow.

Use MCIWnd function
