Ok. I know how to use the SoundPlayer to play wav. files, because I know thats the only file type that it can only play that type. But can anyone tell me how to play mp3 files. I think it is possible but dont know ANYWHERE to start. Can someone please respond to this post.

Yes, you can use MCI to play mp3 files but I assumed you have a mp3 decoder on your machine. To sure that is easy, if the wmp can play a mp3 file then you got it. About the MCI go to see the msdn doc please.

You can do a few things:
1. Use the Windows Media Player ActiveX object.
2. Download the Windows Media Player SDK.
#2 you can find at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/sdk.aspx
It includes many samples as well to get you started.
