Playing Sound Files

[Jonesgj]

Hi All.

I want to play a wav, MP3 or WMA file from my app. Is this easy to to? My
old VB app would play a particle wav to attract the users attention if they
were not at the terminal. I would like to do the same in VB.NEt, but I
thought about being able to play MP3s for fun...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I've used both ways the first articles talks about. I've found this just as
easy (and works with more file types): http://www.fmod.org/. It's free for
non-commercial use and only takes a few lines of code to work.

Many thanks everyone.

I'll give these a go.
