Is it possible to load an mp3 into directsound? I am useing trent polac''s directsound class and am trying to import an mp3? wavs and mids work but not MP3 Y? Thanx, ShCiPwA ----- ShCiPwA -----

I think i have read somewhere that if you make a wav file that is using the mp3 codec direct sound will decode it before playing. I have never actually tried this though.

Ummm - check out DirectMedia... (I''ve seen a few game engine''s which use that to decode MP3''s)

You have to use DirectMedia for mp3. I use it for my MP3 class and it works great. You can have it if you want.

DirectShow will handle this easily. Check out the sdk.

Maybe you should consider using FMOD. - it plays every conceivable sound format (including MP3 and ogg vorbis), it's got loads of cool features and it's amazingly easy. I'm a total C++ newbie yet I managed to get a basic MP3 player working in about ten minutes. If anyone here is planning on doing sound stuff, you've got to look into this.

if it''s gonna be free you could always use one of the libarys (fmod or bass) to do it

If it aint then you could also look into Ogg Vorbis as that gives the same sound quality at smaller sizes and is totaly free
