Some guy posted this years ago here which worked for me, but not anymore?
Code:
Start of level: Mci objct:
send "stop music"
send "open %drive%%dir%tetris.mp3 alias music" <--- tetris.mp3 the filename
send "play music"
End of level:
send "stop music"
send "close music"

When I run it nothing happens. I hope you could help me.
Thanks.

You need to set the device name for whichever thingy plays MP3s. For midis its "sequencer", but unhelpfully I can't remember what it is for MP3s. Sorry

Besides MCI is an obsolete technology, I wouldn't be suprised if XP has ditched support for it. Directshow on MMF 1.5 is the way to go.

Will %drive%%dir% actually work? Shouldn't you change that?

Actually it did last time when this worked.

I don't understand you. I have been watching your posting for some time. You are just some newcomer who tries to act older. Thanks.

You're not the only one that has. My dmc2 doesn't work with MMF, it will crash.

The DMC2 object is fairly pedantic about how you use it, and is prone to crashing if things aren't done its way. Where does it crash?

Oh it didn't crash.
What happens is, that it doesn't show in extensions list. When I choose to take from file, I see dmc2.cox and when I select it, will let me select from five selections;
Active, backdrop, counter, lives or videopro. I don't know if it's right or not, I'd like to hear some intructions. Thanks.

I had same problem, EleXor. Then I put bass.dll into Hard drive (usually C:\)\WINDOWS\System32 folder. Then that problem was gone. After that, I have had no problems with DMC2.

Bass.dll has to be either in your system folder or in the same directory as the source file you're working on. I prefer the latter, because it reminds me to include it in the final zip.
