Try these for VB audio playback:

BASS - http://www.un4seen.com/music/
XAudio - http://www.xaudio.com/
DMC2 (built around bass.dll) - http://www.izzyonline.com/DMC2/

Also, here is a nifty class file that deals with ID3 - http://www.vb-world.net/graphics/tip507.html

I have a custom player written in VB but I changed to a vb program that controls winamp because I wanted a spectrum analyzer and couldn't figure out how to get the levels into vb so I could output the correct bar to the LCD, anybody know or have some sample code???

There are also many other sites that have sample code for doing this. Hit your favorite search engine and search for "vb source code spectrum analyzer" (without the quotes) and you will find a plethora of goodies.

I dont think that is possible, unless you write your player software to a plugin.... there are no API calls to monitor the spectrum analyzer.... You can monitor the output of your sound card tho.... this works for win95/98 but not NT/2K...... try planetsourcecode.com they have some sample source if you search a bit.....

This guy appears to have stopped the project, but he appears (I've not tested his little app) to have figured out a way to use the plugins from VB. If you can find his source or get it from him, you should be able to combine some of the code I showed you above with it and make the player you're coding use pre-built Winamp plugins without having to use Winamp.

Hmm, this could turn out to be a fun project.
I was planning to add the ability to write plug-ins for my player when I get the base stuff done. So people can write code for custom menus that do specific things, or complex things.. We will see. I am going to start on it this saterday..

Kinda off subject but anyone know if you can use java to controll the parallel port for an lcd and communicate with player to display id tags?

Is the www.mscar.cjb.net the player that you wrote? If so cool , but is there a demo of the software that one might download and try.

Thanks

No thats not me. My code/program is not posted anywhere. I wrote it because I didn't like any of the keypad plugins for winamp and it grew alittle from there if ya want I can post it to my site after I take out the encoding control (I'm still evaluating it to see if I am going to buy, wink wink) because I don't want to spend my free time in court... I can comment out the lines and you can download the control yourself if you want to rip and encode in the car. Besides that part of the code is in it's early stages and requires alot of manual work after you get the mp3s (ie renaming, id3 tags, adding to playlist, etc...) Give me a day and I will post the link.

Dr.Sparkle

If you could post your programe, that would be wonderful..
