Play any audio file using VBA Excel

Question

I have a piece of code which can read most audio files (including wav, mp3, midi...), but it won\'t work if there are spaces in the path or File name.

so I have to revert

Answer 1

i found The work-around, that correct spaces in path name (and (edit) for file name (using copy of file with no spaces, ugly but works (name as would not be a good solution) :

After the first attempt to play the sound, if fails i change the current directory to the sound directory (temporarely):

If Play <> 0 Then 

    Dim path$, FileName0$
    path = CurDir

    If InStr(sMusicFile, ":") > 0 Then ChDrive (Left(sMusicFile, 1))
    If InStr(sMusicFile, "\") > 0 Then
        ChDir (Left(sMusicFile, InStrRev(sMusicFile, "\") - 1))
        FileName0 = Mid(sMusicFile, InStrRev(sMusicFile, "\") + 1)
        If InStr(FileName0, " ") > 0 Then
            FileCopy FileName0, Replace(FileName0, " ", "")
            sMusicFile = Left(sMusicFile, InStrRev(sMusicFile, "\")) & Replace(FileName0, " ", "")
            Play = mciSendString("play " & Replace(FileName0, " ", ""), 0&, 0, 0)
        Else
            Play = mciSendString("play " & FileName0, 0&, 0, 0) 
        End If
    Else
        FileName0 = Replace(sMusicFile, " ", "")
        If sMusicFile <> FileName0 Then
            FileCopy sMusicFile, FileName0
            sMusicFile = FileName0
        End If
        Play = mciSendString("play " & sMusicFile, 0&, 0, 0)
    End If

    ChDrive (Left(path, 1))
    ChDir (Left(path, InStrRev(path, "\") - 1))

End If

Note : for spaces in the name i got also a new method : Filecopy sMusicFile replace(sMusicFile," ","%") and then play this new file
