@Ricardo,

Seems to me a good idea to start with if it's possible

What do you think Fred?

@Cor

Ifyou file are no too big and you just want to play it, having no much control, you can play it from memory

Remember than an mp3 takes exactly the same size than a 16bit stereo 44000hz WAV when it's decompressed in memory. That's why some wondered what it took so long to decompress and took so much memory, when dealing with OGG. A 4 mins files is about 50 mb in memory, sometimes more when the bitrate is high. About mp3 I will try to finish the lib and release it as a free plugin. Users will do what they want with it :)

Psychophanta, are you in C ?

As if yes ... Im still looking for a participant for biuilding a wrapper to libavcodec (ffmpeg) ... with that one youre able to generate a Userlib decoding almost every type of audio and video you want - without the usage of system codecs as libavcodec does have them all on board.

Also what is the best format for music playback that IS included in
the EXE? (for a demo and such)

Tom.
The best format for music that you can embed into an exe is a music module. Look for Fast Tracker 2, it is a tracker program (module music making program) which creates .xm files.
There are XM file specifications in the internet, but I have not found any lib yet which should play them. But, I have seen many programs that embed an XM file.

I'd be interested as well in a XM lib. (thumbs up)

Thank you for the links KarLKoX, but I talked about PureBasic sourcecode. Maybe someday? :)

I ve a working mod,xm,s3m module player written in PB in development but it needs a lot of check to see if all effects are well reproduced and there is no sound driver output (only a raw output file for rendering).
I must finish two softwares (wich one is really hard for me) and then, i ll release something really usuable, there will be a annoucement ;)
