Different Ways To Play Audio?
Dec 10, 2009I'm new to VB and have over the last week or two been looking at the different ways to play audio (mp3's). Windows Media Player, Microsoft Multimedia Control, Bass.dll, SndPlaySound, MCI SendString and DirectX (including audiovideoplayback, direct3d and directsound.)I origninally decided to use windows mediaplayer, mainly because it seemed the logical choice but quickly found out i couldn't get it to work properly. So i installed the Directx SDK but now i'm completely overwhelmed about what to use and why.

Would I be able to create an equalizer and other more advanced things for my application?

View 3 RepliesImport MP3s Into A ListBox And Have That As Playlist?
Jul 25, 2009I am currently setting up my own media player and so far there is only one thing that is making me very unhappy/frustrated. I have searched google so much and still couldn't find the solution. Here is my problem. I'm trying to import MP3s into a ListBox and have that as my playlist using this code:
For Each Song As String In Import.FileNames
playlist.items.add(Song)
Next
The only problem with this code is that it displays the song's full path in the list box. What I'm trying to do is just bring in the name of the MP3 without showing the path and still have the song play.

Erase Or Write ID3v2 Tags To MP3s?
Jan 14, 2011I already have code to read ID3v1 and v2 tags. That's not the problem. I open an IOStream, locate the ID3v2 header and pull the bytes out. Handling unicode was a bit of a sod, but I got it working.
What I don't understand is how to remove an ID3v2 tag or write one out. ID3v1 is easy - just truncate the file, then append some bytes. Simple. But ID3v2 tags don't have to be at the start of the file, do they? It's conventional, but by no means mandatory. If I just crop the entire ID3 out of the file, and close the gap, will that work? And then, to write my own tags, should I just write the bytes to the front of the file? Or do I need to update other bits of the file so the player will know where the audio data has moved to?
Also, do I need to use unsynchronisation? How can I tell if I need to?
I've looked on CodeProject; I've googled; and I've read the specification on id3.org - which, by the way, is less than clear! For example, it says that the "Extended header size" can be 6 or 10 bytes in length. So um....how am I supposed to know which one? Is there some magic way of determining how many bytes this value is being stored as?

View 1 RepliesJoin Datasets - Program To Catalog MP3s
Apr 30, 2010I'm working on a program to catalog MP3s (I know, it's a tired thing that's been done to death), and want a better way to determine if a file has previously been added to my database. I have two datasets that are structurally identical. The first dataset is populated from the database and the second is populated via the application during the scan.
I then compare each record in the second dataset to the first with the following code:
Private Sub CompareDataSets(ByVal dsOriginal, ByVal dsNew)
Dim dv As DataView
Dim sFileName As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim bgFileSize As Long
[CODE]...
This method seems terribly inefficient and I'd much prefer being able to do a join of sorts off the two datasets and delete all records from the application populated dataset where there is a match.
Shell - Media Player Play File Error - Refuses To Play
Sep 16, 2010Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""
It plays fine? the file paths are the same including the extra "" but it just refuses to play. I need the top one because i have many movies in a treeview.
Heres my code

Each "Code" is associated with a name from a textbox, I was trying to have it save each one when you click a button, to a .txt file.So, from the start the record will be blank, the person will go through the form, choose a number from a numerical up and down box, pick a name associated with it (both of these are mandatory and not implied). When they click the button, it will save the contents I talked about into a .txt file, say the number is #2, and the name is "Bob", the next time they try to change that value for #2, it will overwrite "Bob".

1) Method one is using the bindingsourse to go through all the records.

My guess is that the first method, while simpler to the eye could use more overhead. What I really would like to know is if the second method really delivers better performance and if it is worth doing all the manual SQL queries.
