Is there a way to load a CD music file off the CD. I think it is a .cda file but BlitzMax only plays .wav and .ogg. Doesn't it?
Hint I am trying to write a relatively simple program to play sounds for a play performance.
.cda is not a music file. It's just a header file which gives information about the track. CD's are recorded in Wav format ( more or less ) but you can't just open a wav, you need to play audio cd's differently. I'm sure most audio libraries ( openAL, Audiere, Bass, FMod, etc ) have the ability to play a music cd, and you can probably tap into WMP's interface and play them that way.
Can someone explain to me what FMod is? I have seen a lot about it.
Doubt many people can explain it much better than
your friend I think I get FMod. How would you "tap into WMP's interface"?
Try Audiere for Win32/Linux platform...
