I could use some help here.

There is a Windows slave system that can be interfaced quite happily to play your MP3's in the background. Have a search for DS4QB and see what you can do. Have fun!

I just tested it. My mehtod works in QB on Windows ME. The file you "start" has to have an associated application (i.e. if you double clicked it, what would hapen? winamp? Then start will run winamp.)

If you need to use a long path/filename, do this:

Code:

SHELL "start " + CHR$(34) + "c:\doc\music\dkc-08.spc" + CHR$(34)

Of course, changing to the path/file you need.

Of course native MSDOS doesn't associate file extensions with applications. If you aren't sure what something is for, "C:\>EDIT huh.wtf" would take care of it.

Go to the MS-DOS Prompt, then enter
start/?
You will get the full description and syntax for using start.
