#include <stdmagic>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
  magically_do_something_platform_and_implementation_specific(PLAY_MUSIC, "hello.mpg");
}
#include <stdmagic>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  magically_do_something_platform_and_implementation_specific(PLAY_MUSIC, "hello.mpg");
}

By the way, what OS and compiler are you using? :rolleyes:

I'm here to prove you wrong.

Not quite ZZ Top but it's a start!
The Windows Api has a little thing called Beep(), try it ...

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
// simple sounds via Beep(frequency_hrz, duration_ms)
 
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>   // WinApi header file
 
using namespace std;
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Beep(523.2511,500);  // 523.2511 hertz (C5) for 500 milliseconds
  Beep(587.3295,500);
  Beep(659.2551,500);
  Beep(698.4565,500);
  Beep(783.9909,500);
 
  cin.get(); // wait
  return 0;
}
// simple sounds via Beep(frequency_hrz, duration_ms)

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>   // WinApi header file

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Beep(523.2511,500);  // 523.2511 hertz (C5) for 500 milliseconds
  Beep(587.3295,500);
  Beep(659.2551,500);
  Beep(698.4565,500);
  Beep(783.9909,500);
  
  cin.get(); // wait
  return 0;
}

There are nicer things like sound(), that use the sound chip and midi voices. A little tough for C++. If you want to test it, get BCX free from:

http://www.rjpcomputing.com/programm.../devsuite.html

get used to BCXDX and learn to fly with sound and graphics! There are lots of sample files. This goes beyond the usual boring calculator and employee database stuff! You are still learning C/C++ though.

May 'the Google' be with you!
