Threading issue when playing music file

Question

What I'm trying to do is play a music file for a specified duration, and then stop playing. However, the whole music file is being played. I cannot use the 'PlaySync()' method as I cannot have the thread being blocked.

Answer 1

maybe something like this

 Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
   {
    var player = new SoundPlayer();
    player.SoundLocation = "myfile";
    player.Play();
    Thread.Sleep(duration)
    player.Stop();
   });
