This should be an easy one guys. I’m using FMOD to create a VERY VERY simple MP3, OGG player for myself. Actually the ogg will come in later. Anyways I’ve been playing with this for awhile and I can not get it to properly play a mp3… I had before when I included an additional thred and a bunch of other stuff but it was sloppy and didn’t really run right. I’m creating a win32 app and I know that I need some kind of loop or something after FSOUND_Stream_Play() but i’m having no luck…. here is a copy of my source…. please don’t bash me too much on all the random remarks and horrid programming practices.

Thanks in advance for any help guys!!

I’ve omitted a bunch of stuff and only included what pertains…. i think

include <stdio.h>

include <iostream> // Here we include the standard include file

include <conio.h> // This is used so we can use _kbhit() and getch()
