playing 2 mp3 files at same time

Is it possible to play 2 mp3 files at the same time in C#? I can only get it to work with playing one file at the same time with the mci library

Have you tried giving each mp3 a different mci alias? Eg.

Code:

---

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern Int32 mciSendString(String command, StringBuilder buffer,
                                          Int32 bufferSize, IntPtr hwndCallback);

private void PlayTwoSongs()
{
    String path = "c:\\some_song.mp3";
    mciSendString("open \"" + path + "\" type mpegvideo alias songA", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    mciSendString("play songA", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

    path = "c:\\another_song.mp3";
    mciSendString("open \"" + path + "\" type mpegvideo alias songB", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    mciSendString("play songB", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
}

Not tested this but I did something similar once to allow simultaneous recording and playback.

thanks a lot, that worked. I did not think of this
