Question

I\'m trying to play an MP3 file in C# using this guide: http://www.crowsprogramming.com/archives/58

And I\'m doing everything listed, but I still can\'t play any mus

Answer 1

There are a couple of things I would try:

1) Fully-qualify the path to that .mp3 file, just in case. 2) Try a.Ctlcontrols.play(); instead.

Also, I'm nearly certain that is a Windows (ActiveX control) that you are trying to load. It may need a windows context in order to load and work. I'm certain there is another way to play an .mp3, because I've used it before, but I couldn't find the code. It may have been part of the DirectX SDK though. Hope that helps.
