I have the API to play WAV files and it works, but how do I keep the music going even after a button is pressed on the form? When I press the button it plays a sound effect, and then the musi is stopped.
View 7 RepliesHow can i make the play button disabled if the music is playing in the background and when i hit the stop button, the Play button becomes enabled? And the music in the background is from my resource in a .wav file format.
View 1 Repliesplaying an audio file that has been selected by the user.
The program I'm working on is an alarm clock, so that may give you an idea of the problem. Basically, I just want the user to be able to select his/her own song to play when the time comes. So, the user clicks on a button, and an OpenFileDialog pops up. The user selects an audio file, and then that file is going to be the file that is played when the alarm goes off.
I'm not near my Microsoft Visual Studio at the moment, so I didn't have time to test it, but here is a code that I think may work:
Private Sub btnChoose_Click
OFile.ShowDialog()
If OFile.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK Then

Is it possible to get the currently playing song. For example I am trying to make an app that will get the current song playing and get more info about that song. My problem is I am not sure how to do this as I want this to work in any music playing program not just in windows media player
View 4 RepliesSo I'm making a multi-function clock for practice.
It's a clock, timer and alarm. It's all done except for the alarm. I want to be able to choose a song (mp3) with OpenFileDialog1 and then play it when I click a button. I'm thinking about using a hidden Windows Media Player control,
I'd like to add music to one of my VB.Net 2010 applications. My preference would be an MP3, but if necessary I can convert to WAV. What's the easiest way to add and play a clip of music via VB.net 2010?
View 2 RepliesI want my program to play some music. For it to be able to play mp3 and/or Midi files would be great.
So, how would I do so? I know how to add music to my resources, I'm just not sure how to activate the music. Would it be done through a form load?
I've created a new form in my program and dragged the windows media player into the form. I have an mp3 in a resources folder within the project. I've set the URL to the name of the mp3. I've looked at tutorials but they make the windows player accessible to the users. I just want the user to be able to hear the music and not be able to change anything regarding the background music.
I want the music to start playing at runtime and continue to loop for now. I will eventually want to switch up the background music depending on which form the user is on. But for now I would be happy just getting a single mp3 to play continuously.
Ive been wondering how to do this in Vb easly for awhile but Ive found no real solutions. So far everythign in Vb has a easy way to accomplish a goal from what I've seen. So I'm hoping someone will have a simple solution to this question. I'm making a simple game and I want background music to play in the background. An I want sound FX's to play with out stopping the background music from playing. Best thing I can think of would be a loop but every time I play a new sound, it stops the other sound. So how would I accomplish this task?

View 1 RepliesI am working on an application in VB.net (.NET 2.0) where I need to open a dynamic amount of different audio streams. Normally, for audio files, one would suggest importing the Windows Media Player COM reference and adding a GUI-based element from the toolbox, but since I'll be working with a dynamic amount of these a GUI would be a terrible idea (especially with Tab stops).

View 1 RepliesRight now I'm trying to make an alarm clock program.I know my coding is correct and I'm not geting errors. Also my sound is a .Wav and was properly inserted into the resources folder.

View 4 RepliesRight now I can add background music in my program by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Music_3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I can also turn it off and change the music by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Another_Music, AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?
Hey guys, I'm a new guy in VB.NET. I am proposing my final year project a title called music studio. My version of music studio is like real music video where we can play many sound at any time. For example, the application that I want to build can create many button and also add an audio along with it. And then, when we hit the 1st button, it play 1st audio. while 1st audio play, we also can hit 2nd button and 2nd audio is playing. for example, 1st audio is sound of man walking, and then 2nd audio is the sound of glass break. lastly 3rd sound sound of police siren play. Is it cool? so, my question is, is it possible the I can build an application by using VB.NET?

View 6 RepliesI created another form that had a pic and two simple buttons, one button plays music the other will stop the music if played and take you back to the previous form. My problem lies in when the users uses the windows "x" button to flose the form, the music does not stop. I have searched and failed and light that could be shed would be awesome.Apparently I saved the wrong file and am not on my VB box so this code is incorrect. I basically added the music to the resources, dim'd it and activated it with a button. The other button not listed in this code was set to "portal.stop()" and "Me.Close()"
Public Class frmFail
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click

I started a thread about playing music. It works perfectly, but I wanted to know if there is a way for the song to be looped. I'm making an alarm clock, and if the user chose a short song, it plays once and then stops. I just wanted to know if there was a way to loop using the mciSendString.

View 3 RepliesVisual Basic 2010 Windows Forms Application I am trying to create an application that will allow a user to choose from a menu option in ListBox, click "Play" button, and the application will play music, and transition between 3 pictures.
View 4 RepliesI am a beginner on Visual Basic but was able to create the 'skeleton' of the application I need to build. Basically, it is an application dedicated to keeping a check on the vinyl I have. When I buy a new record, I want to effectively 'Add New Record' on Visual Basic and be greeted with a page consisting of various forms such as 'Artist' and Title'. Once these are filled in, I want to click 'Enter' and for all that information to be converted to one of the pages within my application.
Here's an easier look at it...
There are LPs that have 10" and 12" sections.
There are singles that have 7" and 12" sections.
In the 'Add New Record' page I want to also have a drop down list with the above elements in, once 12" LP is selected and all the other forms are filled in and I click 'Enter' - I want the application to send it to the 12" LP section of the application.
I am wanting to simply insert a sound/music file into my program, and perhaps make a button function to make it play?
View 5 RepliesI decided to try the Code Analysis tool that came with VB2010 (at some levels). It produced LOTS of fascinating comments. Many of the comments make no sense, such as one about not disposing of a type on all paths when there is only one path that ends with an explicit call to object.Dispose. I think the analysis engine is looking at some of the calls, but they all return to the caller properly.

What i want to do is make a music player that will play a song in the .exe format, so an app will open and automatically play a song. This is to prevent ripping and copyright issues. I made a app using the WMP Com Component but that of course requires the file to be opened.
