    how can i play .MP3 tracks using windows.h?

    i have been told that i can play .MP3 tracks using:

    <windows.h>

    and

    system("...\file.mp3");


    but this does not work, it tells me that there is a problem with the batch file or something..

    can anyone please help me?

    OS: Windows XP SP2
    Compiler: Dev-C++

    cheers

    > You can use the PlaySound() function in windows.h
    That was the first reply in your other thread
    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.

    The same way you figured out how to use every other function, by reading the manual page for it and having a go at the examples.
    Or searching the board for prior examples.

    PlaySound() is very pop, look it up in google and you will have more than you know what to do with.
