c and sound files

hello,
i want to know about handling sounds files through C language.
thanks in advance

Sure, tell us which OS/Compiler you're using.

i'm using windows Xp professional and C free education software

> C free education software

Is this capable of calling the win32 API?

that mean we need windows API to enter to windows applications

I heard that Bass is good for doing stuff with sound. I havent used it yet myself tho.

I'd say go with fmod, as it's more mature yet simpler.

thanks for all your helps
