Hi everyone.

Me and a group on my university is about to make a "smart/inteligent" jukebox player in C# and we have searched alot on the internet to find some sort of references that can play a number of difference music formats but also is easy to use, but yet no one of us have found anything usefull... :(

So i got the idea to ask for help here. our goal is to make the player work with atleast mp3 and cda(music cd format) but we would really like to be able to suport ogg, wave, flac and wma too. also a "nice to have" feature we talked about was to have a way to be able to play videos on youtube as mp3. Also we wanna try to have some cross over music (fade in and fade out) so the music never will be comletely silent and keep on playing in song switches and so on.

So all in all my/our question is: are there a really nice/good and easy to use reference(s) (more than one is okay) to C# that can play a lot of the formats as mentioned above, and also have option to play more than one number at once, turn volume up/down(fade in/fade out) etc.? also a little guide on how to use would be nice.

TY for your time and understanding - Jackie
