Is there a tutorial on including .mp3 sounds into an opengl project? I know bass is one, but i''ve never had much luck getting it to work, is there an indepth article on how to impliment it?

www.gametutorials.com has one on FMod under c++ tutorials i think and FMod has some good documentation. I wrote a wrapper for it (if you want it just email - thereisnocowlevel@hotmail.com) that simplifies everything.

If you''re under Windows and want to sell your project and don''t want to pay heavy money to anybody, use DirectShow (part of DirectX).

Yah, with FMod and Bass you need to pay royalties if you''re going to sell but they work on almost every platform (including consoles ) so it increases your customer base.

Hi,

On my website, I''ve a little example for playing sound under OpenGL with FMOD 3.62

My program can load and play .wav & .mp3 files.

i''ve used Fmod in a few projects (including my current Jumpman) and its a great peice of software.. Very easy to use and has some nice features (like being able to stream files via your own hooks).

If you want your MP3 to repeat I would probably use .OGG. The restart time is much better than mp3 which adds a sound gap between restarting the song.

.OGG also compresses better and smaller than MP3

I think that Unreal II uses the .OGG files.

Wich program can read it ?

Not program, library.

Serious Sam also uses .OGG...

Thanks Crispy. Perhaps that I''ll use it in my engine.
