Hello Folks,

I have 2 questions..
1) I was wondering if there's a way other than using the TMediaPlayer
component to play MP3 files. Also I was wondering how I can prevent the
program from terminating in cases of an error with the TMediaPlayer (for
e.g. if the file doesn't exist or if the machine doesn't have a sound
card).

2) I am creating a game and I was wondering if it's possible to have a 
.mp3 file inside a resource file. Also if this is possible how do I call
it? I'm not a pro @ using resource files, if u guys have an example I
would be grateful but I know it's rude to ask so I could look myself, I
just need to know if it's possible and how to put a .mp3 file inside a
resource file.

Thanks a lot fellas,
  - Ben Bond Pere

about 1)
There are a lot of libraries out there that let you play mp3 files. MMTools
comes to my mind, but there are a lot.

about 2)
I won't go near from using TMediaPlayer from a game! In a game you need
speed and more speed. Again, the previos one solves this. About the resource
files, yes, it should be possible to do this, and maybe some of the
libraries have already implemented this. I haven't done it, but in the worse
case, you could create the code to access it and put the audio in a
TMemoryStream, and at least MMTools allows you to play from a TStream
decendant.
