This is a Class Library I created with VB.Net to add support for playing various music formats including: mp3, wav, and wma files. This class contains over 30 subs, functions and propertys. Some of the features include: getting the length of the song in milli-seconds, seconds, or a userfriendly format. Get the playing position in milli-seconds, seconds or a user friendly format. Open and save M3U playlists. Adjust separately, the volume for the left/right channels or both channels. Change the speed at which the song is played, mute the sound output and many more. This class is completely compatible with Window 9x and Above. Including Windows 2000 and Windows XP. No need to worry about any 3rd party controls or DirectX. As this class uses the built-in mci command interface to do it all. This class was designed to be user friendly, easy to use, and implement. Once the class is compiled, it would be useable by any .Net language. If you add Com Interop it would be compatible with the classic versions of Visual Basic. It did take quite a bit of time and work to create this. Hopefully it will prove to be useful. Please feel free to leave some feedback.
Note: The upload process will probably strip the .dll file from the zip file. You will need to compile the Class Library project.

Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
- Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
- NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Hi Jason,
you say:
'If you add Com Interop it would be compatible with the classic versions of Visual Basic'...
I believe this sounds even more interesting!...
Yes, I agree with Adams,
and give you 5 donuts.
And thanks a lot for sharing the good code... :)

I have a couple comments, first - this code is EXCELLENT!!
1. Is there any way that this could be modified to allow more than one csMusicLibrary controls on a single form to both play simultaneously
2. Is there any way to get the output level as it is playing, so that the level can be sent to level meter controls etc.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
çentipede, the answer to your first question is yes. What you will want to do is modify the class library. You want to make it so you can open multiple devices by opening each file you want to play with a different alias. It should be very easy to do. Email me if you need some help with it.
Your seconds questions is yes, but not with the mci command string interface. The way to do it with vb is to use the WAVEIN api's. You want to set it up as recording but read the actual sound data that is returned from the structure. The best site to learn to do this is: http://www.fullspectrum.com/deeth/main.html. He has some very nice examples on how to do it. Either mono or stereo visuals. FFT, spectrums, ect... Take a look and you should definitely find what you are wanting.
Thanks everyone for your comments. Feel free to mail me or post here about some new features or bugs. Thanks again. :)

Too sweet! I listened to a TIMMY! sound bite and 50% speed and LMAO!
Do you think you could add the ability to record what is loaded to play (basically sound editing)? Sweet class! 5 from me.

Anyway,

This code is very nice, easy to read and straightforward. Any chance of a version that would play from a file loaded in memory ? This would be very useful for audio stored in a database.

Thanks alot for the comments.
I will be creating a new version and it will have support for playing multiple files at the same time built in. Sorry you had to modify it to do what you wanted. I am not sure when I will release the new version. I will be doing a overhaul on most of the code to optimize the speed and disk size. I am trying to get rid of ALL legacy style code and make it all 100% native VB.NET. You can goto my website at: http://www.vbcodesource.com for anymore info or other librarys and downloads. Thanks :)

This code is OK but doesn't work with mp3s that have higher bitrate. :/

Hi I was wondering if you could use this to do some management of the MP3 files as well.. Like delete duplicates...?? Thanks Great CODE

Hi, you could create your own sub to do it inside the class if you want to. But otherwise no code it included with the class to delete duplicate MP3 files. Thats something I may add in the future though.

This sure is a blast from the past! Reminds me of some older vb6 versions I've seen. Very good conversion to .NET. 5 Stars

Not bad code. However, some of your file handling routines do leave some room for concern. Have you considered using the System.IO.FileInfo class to ascertain various filesystem-related pieces of information about a given file?
