    Music during program

    Ok so I am wondering how to make a song play during my program. I am aware that I must compile the song and the .wav file together (link them may be the more appropriate term) but I am wondering if I must use something like fpmuisc=fopen("music.wav","r"); How do I let the program know when to start playing the music I guess.

    Well we could "guess" at your operating system and compiler, or you could tell us.

    I mean, if you're writing a win32 program using any half-decent win32 compiler, then it's as simple as falling off a log.
    PlaySound function
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Sorry about that. Its a win32 program and I am using the bcc32 compiler to link them into an executable file

    When I try to compile I get an error that it cant read the .wav file. Is there something special I have to put in for the program to use the music. I am trying the PlaySound function as described above.

    Was the wav file in the same directory as
    - the exe file
    - the source file
    - the project root

    Did you specify an absolute or relative path name?

    What is the effective "current directory" if you specified a relative path?
