MP3 player?

Hi.
I want to build a basic MP3 playing program without using DirectX functions. What’s the best way to do this? Please give me some tips.
Thanks.

FMOD

You can use mci:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(__BORLANDC__)
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")
#endif

int main(void)
{
        mciSendString("Play welcome.mp3", NULL, 0, NULL);
        //mciSendString("Play welcome.mp3 from 10 to 10000", NULL, 0, NULL);

        getchar();
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

---

For some idea of the commands you can use, see this MP3 player that uses MCI:
