Introduction

This project explores the Microsoft Media Control Interface (MCI). I wrote a wrapper for MCI CD Audio commands. The class wrapper was named CCDAudio.

Details

The CCDAudio class declaration is:

//========================================================================

// A class wrapper of MCI API functions

//========================================================================

class CCDAudio
{
public:
// constructor

CCDAudio();
// destructor

virtual ~CCDAudio();

// Start playing CD Audio

MCIERROR Play();
// Start playing CD Audio on given position

MCIERROR Play(const int nPos);
// Stop playing CD Audio

MCIERROR Stop();
// Pause playing CD Audio

MCIERROR Pause();
// Move to the next track

MCIERROR Forward();
// Move to the previous track

MCIERROR Backward();
// Eject the CDROM

void EjectCDROM();

// Return the current position in seconds

int GetCurrentPos();
// Return the current track number

int GetCurrentTrack();
// Return length of all track in seconds

int GetLenghtAllTracks();
// Return total tracks count

int GetTracksCount();
// Return length of given track

int GetTrackLength(const int nTrack);
// Return begin time of given track

int GetTrackBeginTime( const int nTrack );

// check wheter CD media is inserted

bool IsMediaInsert();
// is paused mode

bool IsPaused();
// is stopped mode

bool IsStopped();
// the device is ready

bool IsReady();
// is playing mode

bool IsPlaying();

protected:
    // MCI error code

    MCIERROR m_nErrorCode;

protected:
    // handle MCI errors

    inline void MCIError( MCIERROR MCIError );
};

1. Manage functions.
2. Time and position functions.
3. Status functions.

Use of CCDAudio

1. First you should create an instance of this class:

   protected:
       CCDAudio m_CDAudio;
   

2. For starting to play the tracks:

   m_CDAudio.Play();
   

3. To pause playing:

   m_CDAudio.Pause();
   

4. To stop playing:

   m_CDAudio.Stop();
   

5. Move to the previous track:

   m_CDAudio.Backward();

6. Move to the next track:

   m_CDAudio.Forward();

7. Eject/Close CD ROM:

   m_CDAudio.EjectCDROM();

8. Play from begining of the selected track:

   m_CDAudio.Play( m_CDAudio.GetTrackBeginTime( nTrack ) );

That is all. I hope this class will be useful.
