SDK newbie seeks help in playing mp3 from disk |
|
|
I've imported the WMP ActiveX Control into Delphi and its working
fine; I can view various properties of the control when my app is
running.
I want to use it to play audio files from disk, but on browsing the
SDK documentation I can only see information for playing files from
playlists or from the library, neither of which interest me. I'd be
grateful for a pointer on how to get started with playing an audio
file from a local disk. i.e some pseudo code would be fine, unless
you're also a Delphi coder.
I'm new to using COM/ActiveX, so there's quite a learning curve here
for me.

Thanks again. I had noticed this property at one point but couldn't
relocate it. I can now play mp3, wma & m4a (AAC) files and also
protected wma. As I was hoping, the Delphi Component/ ActiveX control
hides the COM plumbing :)
