I want to be able to record media off CD's and onto the C: drive, and then
control display - all via the framework.

Is the Media Player SDK ActiveX control the best for this? Or some other
solution?

Thanks,

John
 
I've used both the Media Player ActiveX control and DirectX 9.0
AudioVisualPlayback classes (There are Video and Audio classes in this
namespace). Both work well. I find the DirectX 9.0 is a little easier to
use. Media Player is compatible with DRM scenarios (DirectX may be, but I
haven't found a way to do it).

Good Luck,

Thanks Dave,

I've downloaded the DirectX Managed SDK, and it's great. Trouble is, I can't
get it to play mp3 files! WMA files are fine...

Shouldn't it be a case of just:

Audio a = new Audio("c:\\a.mp3");
a.Play();

?? This works fine for WMA (I have the correct 'using' refs obviously), but
I just get silence from mp3. No error message or exception.

Thanks,

John
