MCIplayer

A simple MCI player for playing music with the appropriate environment written in C# and Visual Studio.

Introduction

This is a very simple music player that uses the MCI multimedia command string to interact with the device. The MCI interface is fairly powerful, and can be very useful. You can play almost any audio file (video files too, but I haven't covered this part in my player) including MP3, Wave, MIDI, ASF, and more.

Using the code

The application has a player class that handles all the interactions with the MCI device. A tag reader class reads specific information about the sound file (title, artist, album, and so on). And, the environment file handles the main form.
