My first question on this site, so hi to all.
I have recently constructed a database for my daughter's (12) mp3 files so that she can easily move them to and from her mp3 player. This works fine and saves me hours searching for a particular track.
However, so that I can check that a file is not duplicated, I would like to be able to listen to it, preferably in WinAmp but WMP would do in this case. In short, what I am trying to do, is simulate double clicking the track in Windows Explorer. Is this possible?
Ali Rizwah - "Run AVI files inside a picture box" on 25/02/08 in the VB/VBA "How To" section is close to what I am looking for, so if anybody can tell me how to modify this for audio files, I would be most grateful.

I have a Merthod to play *.mp3 files involving an API call, but I'll wait and see if anyone else has a better solution.

I guess they don't then ADezii. When you get back from holiday perhaps you can share your method.

I was going to suggest using the ShellExecute() API Function which will Open any File based solely on its File Extension Association. In the case of *.mp3 Files, it will Open the Server Application that is registered on the System for opening *.mp3s. If the OP is still interested, then I'll Post it. In my opinion, it is one of the neatest tricks around, since you don't even have to know which App is assigned for a give File Type.

You can change the Application that is 'associated with' or 'Opens' any File with a .wav Extension.

Hi,
Is there any way of playing songs and downloading songs from a server
onto a client machine.
I want to develop an application such as a music portal which allows
clients to play songs that reside on a Web Server. So does the web
server need to send the song as an attachment to the ASP.NET Web
application or does it do streaming?? And how is it achieved??
Please any ideas or any hints will be highly appreciated.

Hello all,
I'm developing a site in PHP4 for a music artist, who wants music to
play across all their pages. I have loaded a simple flash applet to
play the music, but every time the visitor to the site moves to a
different page the music starts again. The artist would like the music
to play continuously.
I can only think of three possible ways to solve this, and I am not
happy with any of them.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
