View 2 RepliesI have 1-10 audio files that were selected by the user using an "openFileDialog" (with a button and textbox for each). Now, I want it to play all of the files that they selected in a random order when the user clicks "Button12." After all the files have been played, I want it to start over and play all of them in a random order again. I don't want it to stop until the user clicks "Button13." When the user clicks "Button 12" again, it should start playing them in a random order again.

View 5 RepliesIn my application I play sound files that are located in a folder on my computer's desktop.
Const sSoundFolder = "C:UsersChrisDesktopSound"
Now that I'm ready to deploy my app, I want to reference all the audio files so others can hear them in the application.
I read how to reference them... but what I don't know:
Do I have to change the above code to some sort of reference folder in my application instead of my desktop?
To programming and have a question with sound files. I am trying to figure out the basics and here is what I did: I created a button that is supposed to play a sound.
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:.......file.wav")
When I click this button in my .exe file it obviously plays because I am using the computer with the above location for the .wav file. When I use the .exe on another computer it doesn't play because it does not recognize that .wav location. How do I make this work for me? Do I need to embed the .wav with my .exe somehow?
I'm developing a standslone system for my school project. I'm developing an audio management system which allow user to add audio files itself into database together with the audio information such as artist name and album year. I just started it few days ago and face some problems.. my song in the playlist wont continue to play after 1 finished and i need some idea on how to store the audio files into database ... in blob types may be?

In my program I have one line of code that worked one day, and not the next. I didn't change anything in this part of the code, but sure enough, going back a day, it works.
Code:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("tada"), AudioPlayMode.Background)
Now, this is the exact same line of code in the copy that works, and the copy that doesn't. The line is identical, so there must be a problem with my actual resources or something.I know this line of code is getting called... I can put a breakpoint on it and put debug.print statements before and after it.Now, in my resources, tada is listed in there, and the file seems to be there appropriately. In fact, if I double click it in the tree, it plays, and I can play it on the resources screen as well. I even tried adding a different wav file, and no luck!
Putting a try/catch block around it shows that no errors are thrown.I've tried it on 4 different computers with different configurations. Same problem.how to debug this?
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

- Increase the frequency of every part of a wave file by a specified amount of Hz
- Increase/decrease the length of a wave file without reading it faster = changing the pitch

I have a program that speaks wave files. This works problemless with the Soundplayer class with the following code:
Sub MyPlayWav(ByVal WavFileName As String, ByVal StartPos As Long, ByVal EndPos As Long)
Dim wp as new SoundPlayer
wp.SoundLocation = WavFileName
wp.Play
End sub
The soundplayer does however not seem to have a method to play the wave from position StartPos to position EndPos and achieving just that would mean quite a reduction in downloads of these files.
The soundplayer does have a stream object, and that does have a seek method, suggesting that there might be a way to accomplish this, but how?
I plan to include other media files as I am developping the project, and I guess I will be confronted with the same problem.
I am trying to dial a computer from another computer using Modem for sending files and messge.Follwoing is the code done in dialing computer

So, I re did my project in VB.NEt instead of C#. So, I put all the sound files in the resource files. I made a routine to play the sound file but it says that to make sure the sound file exists. Which it does because it played in the resource manager.Here's the sub routine to play the sound:

Public Sub TestSound(ByVal snd As String)
My.Computer.Audio.Play(snd)

View 4 RepliesI need to be able to read audio files and manipulate them from within my own program (similar to how Audacity does it). Now, I'm not asking for something with a thousand effects and such, I just need the minimal as far as audio manipulation for .net goes. I really just need to be able to figure out pitches and frequencies being played at what times and the ability to move them all around.
View 1 RepliesBased on a thread earlier today, and in particular an answer that Cor gave wherein he
pointed to this article, I thought that I'd do some investigation. Many times here the question has come up about playing .mp3 audio files and NOT using the Windows Media Player object. In the article referenced above, he shows how this can be done via DirectX.
I've looked at DirectX before and it seemed ambiguous so I never really dug into it but it turns out to be pretty simple actually! I thought that I'd write this as a step-by-step of what I did so that maybe some of you will find use from it. The whole thing stems around using DirectX and to begin with, you'll need to download and install the SDK for it. If you haven't already,
try this link. Do be aware that it's a large download (about a half gig)! Once that's installed, create a form and add a reference to the class that we need for this. You can do this several ways, but the way I usually do is to right-click on the name in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Add Reference":

View 1 RepliesEarly on the OP was asked "how will you get the data about your music?" and it went into a whole other direction, but that's what I'm here to show: Another way to get the data about your music without dependence on the metadata.The music that I have has fairly extensive tags embedded but as I've discovered, that's not the case with all of them. It's a good starting point I suppose but is there another way? Let me jump to the end, then in the next several posts, we'll dissect the parts of it. My goal was use "only out of the components and methods" and this is what we end up with: Aside from the rudimentary things like song duration, how about if we could get a host of information about the songs, including the cover art? As shown in the example above, some also will have a link to additional information. The additional information may even contain a way to watch a music video for that song like this: Further, some will even contain what I call "Liner Notes" like this:
If this interests you, read on ...This isn't a new thought at all; I've explored this area before. Have a look at this on Code Project. Now before you go thinking that you've found the keys to the kingdom, I should explain a little minor issue about that - it doesn't work! In that, he relies heavily on three web services: Amazon Web Service MusicBrainz LyricWiki Amazon has significantly modified their service such that his methods don't work now. If you follow the posts following the thread, you'll see a few people have tried workarounds but over the years, even those stopped working because apparently they (Amazon) are in a state of flux regarding their API. LyricWiki is still alive and well, but - the music recording industry forced them to no longer offer their service to developers. MusicBrainz is in fact a heck of a resource and if you're at all interested in this topic, I would encourage you to have a look around. It's odd to work with, but it's chock full of good information and they're constantly adding to it or so it seems. All that said, this example won't use any of those but rather a different service all together: Last Dot FM. I can't say that I know much about them, but I happened onto them a few months back when I was first experimenting with all this stuff.
I 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).
