Look up on how to use the OGG library. It's open source and in C.

OP commented:

Ok. Well if you need it simpler than that, try FMOD.

Look here for an example:

Edit:
And here for the source:

Are you saying Vorbis can play MP3, not just OGG Vorbis? If so, I never knew...

Yea it can. You just have to be able to load in the raw audio bits. It's pretty versatile. We use it for our cross-platform development framework (ios, android, OSX, Windows, Linux) and openGL for our cross-platform graphics. It's pretty friggin sweet!

Harrison H 10-Mar-11 14:10pm

Actually sorry about that. I forgot that we use openAL for audio abstraction. Ogg vorbis just provided us with the "raw bits" I was talking about. If the OP's still interested, I'd look into one of the simpler solutions like FMOD.

Solution 3

You can try the MCI functions in the Windows MDK .

The key function is mciSendCommand() and mciSendString.You should check it out by Google or MSDN.
