Hi, im trying to make a prog that plays a playlist of mp3 files.
i'm using VDSMPEG.DLL and all seems to work but i have a problem.
With some files it seems that the DLL cant find the end of file because i cant skip to the next file.
How can i detect when is the end of a MP3 file?
Is there any Playlist example?

Thanks a lot in advance...

Marcelo.

Add: I can't use PLAY with the ,WAIT statement because i need to refresh current position in a "timer"...
Any help on how to detect when a file was totally played and finished?

Hi I have a copy of vdsmp3.dll...

Which allows you to :

COMMANDS
MP3 MVOLUME, <volume>
Sets the Windows master volume to <volume>. This should be 100 or below. This only seems to work after an MP3 started playing.

MP3 OPEN{<slot number 2/3>}, <filename>
Opens the MP3 file <filename> in the slot <slot number 2/3>.

MP3 PAUSE{<slot number 2/3>}
Pauses playing the slot <slot number 2/3>.

MP3 PLAY{<slot number 2/3>}
Starts playing the slot <slot number 2/3>.

MP3 SEEK{<slot number 2/3>}, <position>
Seeks the slot <slot number 2/3> to the position <position>. This should be 100 or below.

MP3 STOP{<slot number 2/3>}
Stops playing the slot <slot number 1-3>.

MP3 VOLUME{<slot number 2/3>}, <volume>
Sets the volume of the slot <slot number 2/3> to <volume>. This should be 100 or below.

The ID3 tag of the file in the slot <slot number 2/3> is read, the result depends on <info kind>.
<info kind> can be:

comments – returns the comment in the file
genre – returns the genre number of the file
title – returns the title of the file

EOF{<slot number 2/3>}
Occurs when the end of the file in the slot <slot number 2/3> is reached.

Occurs when the file in the slot <slot number 2/3> is paused.

STOPPED{<slot number 2/3>}
Occurs when the file in the slot <slot number 2/3> is stopped.

It also uses the xaudio.dll, which i think you might have to buy a license for now, not sure... anyone any more info on the license for it ?


The vdsmp3.dll was written by Tommy Sools, I could zip it up and uplaod it... but I would like clarification on the license for the xaudio.dll....


You could also use vdsmedia.dll from Extreme Senses, again i have a copy of it...

It will handle loads and loads of different formats, mp3, ogg, wav etc etc
