For playing music, I would recommend using the mciSendString API.

Example:

code:

---

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, _
                                                                              Optional ByVal lpstrReturnString As String = 0, _
                                                                              Optional ByVal uReturnLength As Long = 0, _
                                                                              Optional ByVal hwndCallback As Long = 0) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
    mciSendString "open """ & "C:\test.mp3" &  """ type MPEGvideo alias PutWhatYouWantHere ", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&

    mciSendString "play PutWhatYouWantHere", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload()
    mciSendString "close PutWhatYouWantHere", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&
End Sub

---

[/code]Note: All "PutWhatYouWantHere" must be same or, it wont work!
