: well i know dinkc and delphi/pascal and html, so i decided to mess around with vb too. i dont know much about it yet, like i said, its my first program in vb, so dont laugh at my ignorance. i right click in the box that has the icons to add pictures/buttons etc. and select 'components' then i scroll down to the very bottom and pick 'windows media player.' this is what plays the mp3 files. now, will this work on any computer, does it actually use wmp? how does that work?

: anyway, what the program does is searches for a save file, from 1000 to 1999 every 3 seconds. then, if it finds it, it plays 1001.mp3, 1002.mp3 etc. when it finds a save that is not for one already playing, it deletes the save for the one already playing and plays the mp3 of the new save.

: it works and everything, i have tested it and stuff, but just on one pc.

: what i need to know is i want to have a button to run the dmod. you open this and then open the dmod, so rather than a frontend, you just click the button. how do i do this? the mp3 program goes right into the dmod folder, and the mp3s are in the sound dir. i think i have to do a "shell" or something, but i have no idea of how to do that.

I myself do not know exactly how to do this, but i'm sure someone could create a .bat file that opens the program and also the dmod...

But uh, i'm really interested in this, because until now i've had to use .wavs...because the music my friend does for me is mp3s...some could be midi, but it sounds like ass if its a midi and not an mp3...so uh ya..that'll be really good
