well let me more clear about this problem- I am giving a try to make a mp3 player in VB6.0 90% job is done cause it plays wave files,mp3(with bit rate less than 300kbps). I don't know how to make it play high bit rate files. Is there any way to make it a complete mp3 player?
If you can't get the media control to work (I tried writing a media player ~15 years ago too) you could try the Windows Media player controls (but seems a bit silly just wrapping another media player) or change away from VB6 and use Quartz/DirectShow directly.
