I want to know how you can play a mp3 in game. please send me the source code. Thank you for the answer.

I''ll give you a few hints...
SMPEG (look for it at Lokigames), Splay (there''s a link at the SMPEG page I think) or Xaudio (not sure whether it comes with the source).

BUT, you might not want to do the decoding yourself...so here are a few libraries that doesn''t come with the source (there only availible for windows to if I remember correctly).
Bass and fmod (www.fmod.org)

Or if you''re using SDL, SDL_mixer will do the trick too (it uses SMPEG) - it can be found at www.libsdl.org

You might even try to write a fast decoding algorithm yourself ha ha..

I think you can also use DirectShow, but I''m not sure how. Might be in the DirectX SDK. Anyone know?

Goto to this url:

http://www.flipcode.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?showThread=COTD-DirectShowMP3&forum=cotd&id=-1

It gives you code to use for DirectShow. I use it and it works like a charm. You have to do some downloading though, because it requires the DirectMedia library. Links are on the page.
