mciSendStringA - Help!

[eynstyne 1]

The Winmm.dll API mciSendStringA Needs commands to play things. I'm thinking of making a UDF for this.

I have the commands for it, just don't know how to use them in Autoit. If autoit can play Mp3's I'll still need this to edit things out from the Mp3 file.

Here's what I'm doin...

dllcall("winmm.dll","int","mciSendStringA","str","open " & """E:\music\themp3.mp3""" & " type MPEGVideo alias MP3File","str","","int",65534,"hwnd",0)

That works fine until...

dllcall("winmm.dll","int","mciSendStringA","str","play MP3File")

The play command crashes. Am I missing something?

Regards to the Mixing Project I'm doin'

Thx in advance
