Need Help in Playing Music..!!

[Rehman khan]

Hello Friends..! In my program, i'm trying to play a music file in background...

For that I used, this command:

  system("start /min wmplayer.exe \"C:\\Downloads\\123\\You are like brother.mp3\"");

So when it is executed, windows media player will be opened in minimized form and it plays the music..

But Actually, it's not working..! I'm using Windows 7 only..

If i use

  system("start wmplayer.exe \"C:\\Downloads\\You are like brother.mp3\"");

It works, but not minimized... So please tell me, how can i make it work in minimized form..????

Or.., is there any other better way to play a music in background in between a program..???

Thanks in advance..!!

Using the same filename in both tests would be more convincing.

> But Actually, it's not working..! I'm using Windows 7 only..
Which isn't working
- the playing part
- the minimising part

The minimizing part... It plays music... But not minimized when i use the second code..

I want to play it minimized..

Use third party code, even something simple like SDL would work.
