An other possibility is to use directx. but the downside to it is that you need the Directx SDK. I've made a class for playing an mp3. But it isn't fully tested. And with finals comming up I don't have the time to perfect them. I'll attach the zip file so you can use them if you want to. choice is yours.

But I must say. I'm no expert in classes. It is possible that this isn't the world best class
