I do not know any of the functions to do this, and when I looked on the internet all the functions I saw were mainly non-standard. I would appreciate it if someone helped me find functions for this!

All sound and music APIs are non-standard, so you need to say which OS/Compiler you're using if you want more specific advice.
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.
fopen, fclose, fread, fscanf, fgets, fwrite, fprintf, ...
It's non-standard, and it's difficult to play audio. The speaker needs to be fed samples at a constant rate of 1 every 1/44,000 of a second. And the files are often big.Originally Posted by BatchProgrammer
So you usually have several layers or architecture, with a top-level "play", and lower-level tick functions that manage the flow of samples to buffers, mixers, secondary buffers, and finally the digital to analogue converter.

Os:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] ( Windows 7, 64 bit, premium version )
Compilier: Code::Blocks minGW minimalist package for windows, full version with plugins
Also, does the C syntax have anyway to handle this then if there is no standard function for it? Or is it more nessecary to have unstandard libraries for such a task? ( I don't like using other people's code to write my programs. )
The simplest is probably this
PlaySound function (Windows)
But windows has several different audio / game / multimedia API's to choose from (and probably several 3rd party ones as well).

That is C, I don't think it would work in my compilier.

Duh!?
Why the ........ did you title your thread "How do you handle sound and music files in C?" then?

C++*. Mistyped it. The function on the page was C++.
Guess what? You can use C in a C++ program.
Sounds like you should spend some more time learning the language(s) before jumping into more complex things like sound and music.
I know the C language and syntax, but I do not know C++. Yes, I'm aware that you can use C in C++. I have heard many times though that some C functions in C++ are not recommended for use in C++, not to mention that I've also heard that you have to do something different with the preprocessor directives.
You do realize the examples on msdn.microsoft.com normally say C++; can work in most cases in both C and C++.
This is because the API for MS Windows is almost (if not all) all written in C.

When you start seeing classes and namespaces in the API, then you know it's a C++ API.
