Well basically im getting sick of using the standard Media Player control and I want to take 1 more step ahead and make my media player using API. So if anyone can tell me the API i need to open and play .mp3 files then I'd greatly appreciate it (^_^)

You can use the mci functions in winmm.dll

You need to look at the Platform SDK Multimedia documentation. I did exactly what you describe in C# 2.0. I built a BasePlayer class and then subclassed WavePlayer, CDPlayer etc.

I don't have code handy but it just boils down to doing a DllImport of the mciSendString function and sending the appropriate string (command) to open, play, pause, seek, etc.

You can control audio files, avi's, CDs, DVD, VCR, etc. mci has been around a long time but once you build your classes it all works very well.

Attached is a project I played with a while back. It plays various sound and video file formats. I uses the mciSendString API to do most of the work. It should get you started.
