Play MP3 Files Using Windows Media Player

Play MP3 Files Using Windows Media Player

You can use Microsoft Windows Media Player in your VB application to play
MP3 files.
To do that you must have Windows Media Player installed on your computer.

Preparations

Add Windows Media Player to your form:
From VB menu choose Project->Components... then mark the Windows Media
Player check box and press OK. Now drag the Windows Media Player Control
to your form.

If you want that Windows Media Player will be invisible, set its Visible
property to False.

Add 3 Command Buttons to your form.
Press the first to play the MP3 file, press the second to stop it, and
press the third to Pause/Resume.

Form Code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
' replace the "D:\MP3\MyFile.mp3" below with the Mp3 file
' you want to play
MediaPlayer1.Open "D:\MP3\MyFile.mp3"
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
