    How do I play multiple mp3 files after another in C++ ?

    Hello there
    I want to play multiple mp3 files after another. I have tried with ShellExecute(); but its just playing one mp3 file with my default mp3 player. I want to play multiple mp3 files with my default player. How can I do this ? can we play a playlist of Windows media player with c++ ? any example code and explanation will help me a lot



    thanks in advance.

    Create an M3U file containing the list of files you want to play, then point your media player at it using ShellExecute()
    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.

    You can create a playlist and use that to play files sequentially. Here is sample code to do so:



    WMPLib.IWMPPlaylist playlist = player.playlistCollection.newPlaylist("NewPlaylist ");

    // Add files to playlist. You can make use of a loop to add multiple files
    WMPLib.IWMPMedia fileMedia = player.newMedia(filePath);
    playlist.appendItem(fileMedia);

    player.currentPlaylist = playlist;
    player.Ctlcontrols.play();

    Another approach will be to use PlayStateChanged event handler.
