You can, but its not a simple question nor a simple solution. If you
are a beginner to C++, it is likely out of your league. I'm *not* a
beginner, and I would struggle with it :-)

It depends on what OS/platform your targeting. There is no standard way
to do it.

g++ works also in Windows and presumably is able to include <windows.h(if
you have downloaded and installed the Windows SDK first of course).

If you are not on Windows you have to find other means. On Linux a simple
bash script should be enough for such things, no need for C++.

PlaySound will do the trick - or you could link to the media player
control if you want to do anything more clever. either way, you should
ask on one of the microsoft.public groups, rather than here.

You have not told us before. Anyway, you might want to have a look at libSDL
(http://www.libsdl.org/)

And if that matters, you're probably in the wrong group.

Actually, at the time I wrote that, you had only said

"i search its archive but all are showing "PlaySound" Function with the
"windows.h" header"

Which sounds pretty much like Windoze. I can't help you on Linux.

In general, if the goal is just to play some background music,
and no real interaction is involved, the best solution is likely
to be to figure out the system dependent command line request to
do it, and invoke that via the system() function. On most
systems, system() will return something which can later be
converted into a command line request to kill the process, if
that's needed as well. (On the systems I'm familiar with,
system returns the process id, and something like:

std::ostringstream cmd ;
cmd << "kill " << systemReturnValue ;
system( cmd.str().c_str() ) ;

can be used to stop the process.)
