And what is the question?

Why? You won't be able to perfectly synchronize them. Instead, you should better merge two or more audio fragments, using one or another function, and play the result. With proper effort, you could do it even on the fly...

Hi,
You sound like you could use the Windows Media Player ActiveX control.
Follow this msdn tutorial on how to add this to the designer:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564585(v=vs.85).aspx[^]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd562851%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]

and if you want to add a media player programitacly read this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd562692(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Now add a button to your form and add this to the button click event method:
Note: when you change the URL property of the media player it will automatically start playing the file located at the new URL location.

C#

this.YourFirstMediaPlayerNameHere.URL = @"C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\Sleep Away.mp3";
this.YourSecondMediaPlayerNameHere.URL = @"C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\Maid with the Flaxen Hair.mp3";

I hope this helps,
