Midis, mp3 and wav

[RedXVII]

As a kindof mini learn win32 assembly i want to be able to know how to play midis, and less importantly mp3s and wav.

Anyone know how to do it?


Thanks  :U

Hello RedXVii

For the wav file you can use this code.

Code Select Expand


.data
sound db "benny.wav",0   ;the filename has to be in same dir or else put full path to it

.code

START:

Invoke PlaySound, ADDR sound, NULL, SND_FILENAME or SND_ASYNC

invoke ExitProcess, eax


end START


I'm not sure about the others but i read about mci strings  on msdn.

Good luck

Or, if you want to do it the long way and decode the midi file yourself.. well, let's just say it's not pretty and really not a 'mini' project :bdg

Mp3 isn't too pretty either, but as long as you have a decoder library function then it's not so bad.
And wav is fairly simple :toothy

Thanks fellas,

Even if i figured out how to deocde the midi file (which i think i can do) i have no idea how to make it play the noise i want  :( 

isnt there a function to play midis?

Thanks  :U

If you just want be able to play stuff, you can do it through the mci (which is what windows media player uses) - so you'll be able to play wav, midi, mp3, and many others without even needing to worry.

This should get you started..

Code Select Expand

invoke MCIWndCreate, hWnd,hInstance,WS_CHILD or MCIWNDF_NOTIFYMODE or MCIWNDF_NOMENU or MCIWNDF_NOPLAYBAR,pFName
mov hWndMCI,eax
invoke SendMessage, hWndMCI,MCI_PLAY,0,0
(rtfm for more info, explanations..)

Oh, you'll need to include msvfw32 inc and lib :toothy
