    The document discusses using MCI to play MP3 files in a C# application. It describes how to create a simple class to open, play, and close MP3 files with only a few lines of code. The class uses the MCI API via P/Invoke to call functions like mciSendString to open files, play them, and close them. The code provided offers a basic example of how to integrate MP3 playback into a C# application with minimal effort using MCI.

    Using MCI for MP3 Playback C#

    Using MCI for playing MP3 is very simple. I was so happy when I clicked the play button on my application and I did not get and Exception error. It took me 2min to code the class after looking at this & this. In my free time I will make a sexy UI and add some more functions but for now you could play you self.

    private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // my error checking lol if(textBox1.Text.Length!=0) test.Open(textBox1.Text); } private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { test.Play(true); } private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { test.Close(); }

    Class
    To use the MCI Functions we have to import the winmm.dll.
    [DllImport("winmm.dll")] private static extern long mciSendString(string strCommand,StringBuilder strReturn,int iReturnLength, IntPtr hwndCallback);

    Then you go to the MSDN look up a command and its party time.

    Code

    public class Player { private string Pcommand; private bool isOpen; [DllImport("winmm.dll")] private static extern long mciSendString(string strCommand,StringBuilder strReturn,int iReturnLength, IntPtr hwndCallback); public Player() { } public void Close() { Pcommand = "close MediaFile"; mciSendString(Pcommand, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); isOpen=false; } public void Open(string sFileName) { Pcommand = "open \"" + sFileName + "\" type mpegvideo alias MediaFile"; mciSendString(Pcommand, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); isOpen = true; } public void Play(bool loop) { if(isOpen) { Pcommand = "play MediaFile"; if (loop) Pcommand += " REPEAT"; mciSendString(Pcommand, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); } } } If you have a question http://csharp-home.com/ nerdandy@gmail.com
