Since 2000 and XP, MCI is not officially supported anymore, so
it may not be the best choice as you never know when your app
stops working (Vista?), that's all. Of course it's up to you, what to
use. MCI is deprecated - nothing more, nothing less.

AFAIK "Media Center Edition" is just XP Pro with the Media Center application which doesn't do anything special.

Midi files / Windows MCI functions

Could someone give a small example of how to use Windows MCI function(s) to play's midi in backound.

Pls. remember I'm just started to study how to write applications with PB, so nothing fancy and complicated would be fine for me. And is it possible to play mp3's with the same system?

With Visual Basic it's so easy, but I like PureBasic more anyway (small stand alone exe's etc.... :(
