I'm working on a project that uses WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer and allows the user to select an .mp3 or .wav file for play.

How do I go about setting the duration of play? I'd like to for the file to play for 5 seconds and that's it. How do I go about this?

Thanks in advance,
-DA

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer wmp = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
wmp.URL = @"C:\Music\mySong.mp3";
wmp.controls.play();

well, my first approach would be to create a timer for a repeat duration of 5 seconds, and then in the timer.Tick() event, call

C#

wmp.controls.Stop(); myTimer.Stop();

.
