hi, im having trouble with some code for a mp3 player program. i want to have a listbox with file paths of mp3's (eg. "c:/users/quatz/music/song1.mp3, c:/users/quatz/music/song2.mp3" ect. in the list) and a windows media player control.
i have every thing else "down pat" but i want to find a way to autoplay the next song in the listbox once the first song has stopped playing

i am using vb2008 express

thankx

You want to look at player state changed to media ended. To play the next song may also require a timer and causing it to "click" play until it actually does. I've had problems with continuous play recently.

i have tried the timer and play state codes but what happens is the tracks play 3 seconds then skip to the next track and play 3seconds over and over
i understand what your getting at but it just dosent like me
thanks for trying,
any more suggustions??

if you would the compiled verson of what i have don just ask and i will zip it all up

[zippp]

Ok, this is easy and you do it just using a timer.

i guess that "mediaplayer" it's your player name, it's 10 am and i just woked up and can't see the code to good


So you add a timer with the interval set to 100.
The code for "AUTO NEXT" will be something like this.

If (mediaplayer.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsStopped)  Then
			If (LISTBOX.SelectedIndex < LISTBOX.Items.Count - 1) Then
				lplst.SelectedIndex = lplst.SelectedIndex + 1
				mediaplayer.URL = songs(lplst.SelectedIndex)
				mediaplayer.Ctlcontrols.play()
		End If
End If

good luck.

PS: this is vb 2005 express, don't know how it's 2008 i have no idea, but i think it isn't too different.

omg thankyou soooooo much, it works great but i needed to tweek it a little bit
heres wat i have now

 Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
		If (mediaplayer.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsStopped) Then

Okay, well, I'd love to see the code to read the MP3 Tag information. I just can't get it to work.

[quatz]

no problem, i will post the codes shortly.......
by the way, what exactly did you need to find in the id3 tags......im saying this to help me add and take parts of the code in and out

thanx
