in reply to Module SDL::Music not playing MP3s on Windows

The sample Tk program plays WAV files OK, but does not play MP3 files

What errors does it throw? You're probably missing SMPEG

    It doesn't throw any error. It just silently executes the play_music line and goes on its way. BTW, what is SMPEG, what does it do, and where/how do I obtain and install it?

    Thanks, roho

      Just google for 'SMPEG', it is a library for SDL which plays mp3's. I have no idea about getting it to run on windows.

        Thanks for the suggestion zentara, but all I found on Google for 'SMPEG' for windows was an smpeg.dll, which didn't help matters at all. I have not given up, though, and my search for an answer continues.

      Make it throw an error.
