Any suggestions?
I'm currently trying to use Winmm.dll but for some reason, nothing happens when I go to play my mp3. I can't really embed WMP, so I'm not sure what else to do.

What you're trying to do definitely works. I tried it by implementing the MCI in the simplest form that I could and now have music playing from a blank console window.
Put this into a new class called 'File' and remember to reference the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace:[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
static extern int mciSendString(string mciCommand, StringBuilder buffer, int bufferSize, IntPtr callback); string fileName;
public void Send(string mciCommand) { mciSendString(mciCommand, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); }
public File(string fileLocation)
{
fileName = fileLocation;
Send("open " + fileName);
}
public void Play() { Send("play " + fileName); }
Then drop this into your startup object:File file = new File("C:/Test.mp3"); file.Play(); string input = Console.ReadLine();
It should work now. At the moment it won't do anything other than play the file but the MSDN section on MCI describes all the additional commands that can be called. -

Hmm, I finally got around to trying your code example. It seems that when I decide to use an alias "open fileName alias MySound" it doesn't work. Without the alias and just a simple "open fileName" it works fine.tfraser said:What you're trying to do definitely works.

Strange.
Anyway, thanks for the sample!
