i'm not sure, but :
in db> it isn't load music but load sound :
load sound "music.mp3",1
loop sound 1
in db pro> it's load music
as up, but with music instead of sound

uh yeah... um... that kinda confused me, but I got what you mean::

load music "LinkinPark01.mp3",1

That'd do the trick so try that out

Ok, first, Linkin Park sux donkey dildos. Second, DB can't load mp3s but DBPro can.

This is Truth!
This is my Belief!
...at least for now.

DB can load mp3 files if you have the relevant codecs on your machine (and you most likely do if you've got Media Player installed).

Cheers,

I have wrote a very small MP3 player in DBPro. right now it only contains code for 1 mp3. Meaning, you will need to add a variable set for "anything mp3" rather than my staticaly coded name of my mp3. It has menu and keyboard controlled stop and play controls...very alpha version right now but it works without issue.

If some body wants it, post back and I will put the code in the forum for who ever wants it when I get home tonight.

have a good day my fellow coders

ok, here is a alpha version of an mp3 playa, it requires alot more work but it does work now.

SET WINDOW SIZE 500, 400
set text size 4
print "1. mytune"
set cursor 25, 25
print "q=quits the song playing"
print "w=ends application"

rem load music loop
do
if inkey$()="1"
selection#=1
Load music "./media/mytune.mp3",selection#
gosub musicplay
endif

if Inkey$()="w" then end
loop

rem wait to kill current tune
musicplay:
do
loop music selection#

if Inkey$()="q"
delete music selection#
return
endif

loop

have fun

I made it in DBPro, but it isn't all that complex. So hopefully it will run in DB.

Test an let me know if you get time, tx

Well I tried it, but whenever I ran it my screen started flashing and i could see icons from my desktop, then db would exit.

One more thing, can you use the "set text size 4 " command in DB? without having to do this?

Thanks

DarkBASIC (not pro) CAN load mp3 files. Just load them like if them were mid files. But remember: mp3 files requires more memory than mid files and your program with mp3s will not work as good as another one with mids if you don't have a fast computer.
