How can I play an mp3 song straight after the previous mp3 song has finished? I've checked everywhere but they aren't detailed enough. I'm using WMPLib. How can I change this code so that I can play another song straight after the previous song has come to an end.

C#

#region Playing Music
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    musicplayer.URL = @"C:\Users\User\Documents\Music\Song1.mp3";
    musicplayer.controls.play();
}
#endregion

I'm doing it in c# not c++

So what? Then use C#. If you have actually looked at the documentation. you would have seen C# example code.

try this code. its working i have tested
include windows media player library before using the below code

C#

		{
OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
dialog.Filter = "Audio Files (.mp3)|*.mp3";
if(dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    string path = dialog.FileName;
    playSound(path);
    WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer wplayer = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();

Solution 2

Something like this should do the Job:

C#

...
WindowsMediaPlayer musicplayer = new WindowsMediaPlayer();
// Add Event handler
musicplayer.PlayStateChange += new WMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEventHandler(MusicPlayer_StatusChange);
...

C#

// The eventhandler
private void MusicPlayer_StatusChange(int NewState)
{
    if ((WMPLib.WMPPlayState)NewState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsStopped)
    {
       // Start next
    }
}

Note:
I think with WindowsMediaPlayer's PlayList you can solve it mutch more elegant.

What do you put where it says //start new

// Next filename, of course not fixed programmed, should come from a list
musicplayer.URL = @"C:\Users\User\Documents\Music\Song2.mp3";
// Play
musicplayer.controls.play();

So the same you have in your button click.

Ok. But then all the songs will play at the same time won't they?

You need to implement a list of strings from where you take the next song.

musicplayer.URL = myPlayList[listIndex++];

and course you Need to check that "listIndex" is in the range.

Wouldn't it be easier if i made a string for each song then list all the string variables into the musicplayer.ToString and then add a loop after that.
