in thread Playing MP3 file?

2 methods I use to play an MP3 in my program on Windows XP with Perl.

a> I don't have the code handy, but you can launch Windows Media Player with a playlist as a Win32 process. I never learned how to make a WMP playlist from Perl, :(.

b> The way I do it now in my Perl programs is to embed the MP3 in a SWF file in a local html file and play it through the Internet Explorer. (Then you can make a pretty album cover to display while the music plays.) Just launch the Internet Explorer with html file as argument with win32 process.
