How to play an MP3 in windows?

(1/1)

unclet:
Without using a song frontend (ie: Winamp, etc..) is there any information (links, webpages) on what commands one can use to inform Windows to play a certain MP3 file, pause the currently playing song, stop playing a song?

I am really considering creating my own jukebox software.  I know how to code but do nto know how to interface with Windows OS to tell it to do stuff I want it to do for me.....

Any ideas on where to get started?

SirPeale:
Command line player, perhaps?

Brad Lee:
You're gonna need something to play it with, Windows Media Player & WinAmp are probably the most common.

I know on the winamp site there is a SDK available, as well as a few plugins that can take command line parameters(clever98 is one i know for sure)

Without interfacing one of those players(or another) you're pretty much gonna have to write that aspect of it as well.
