What is it? You know Windows Media Player? This is my equivalent. You can play MIDIs, WAVs, AVIs, CD Audio as well as MM (multimedia movie) files. It uses a simple interface, and hey, it works! I did this in my first year for the subject "Visual Basic programming". It was an assignment I think, but I can't remember. Anyway, it's pretty cool and can an adequate replacement for your regular media player, no bells or whistles but it works. Screenshot How it works Like my CD Player, this application utilises the Windows MCI (Media Control Interface), with one exception, this program is written in Visual Basic. It requires runtime files, but those are included in the OS nowadays, so you should run it without a hitch. Anyway, MCI is a generic interface, you use it because it provides device independence so you don't have to write function calls for every single video card/sound card/cdrom on the planet, you just treat the device like a "black box" which is what MCI provides. This application is infinitely easier to write, since it's written in Visual Basic, a much higher level (dare I say fool proof!) language than C++, less lines of code are required too since the runtime files provide much built in functionality. If you like this application, try out my wave editor. It's a full fledged wave editor, and better! Written entirely in C++ it processes a wave file byte by byte. (Do you know how hard that is to write!!) How it was implemented Software used: Visual Basic 5.0 Windows 9X/NT Coding was done in VB 5.0 and software testing on the Win 9X/NT platform.
