IMPORTANT.. need help asap please!
ok.. my problem is..
my midterm source code is due tomorw.. unfortunatly i cant get thsi music to play... my group REALLy wants the music and i thin itll boost my chances of an a... when i ran this music in the original(just the music) it runs fine.. when i put it in the iff statement in my code... i get 7000 errors... most complain about mmsystem.h:sad:
if i take out the mmsystem.h i get no errors for the most part and it runs like normal.. but no music.,...:cry:
i have left out mmsystem.h in this version.. if u run dev-c++ u have to add linker winlibmm.a using project options>>parameters>> add linker.

Yes, it is. I didn't mention libwinmm.a as an alternative option to winmm.lib if you're using Dev-C++.
It'll be kind of hard for me to debug your program though, as I'm not on a Windows machine, and I won't be able to compile/run your code. Just a thought, aren't you supposed to run
mciSendString("open C:\\path");before you you try to play it. If I'm wrong, sorry because I've never actually used mmsystem.h, I just read that you have to do that in some online guide.
Another thing: in your paths, you're supposed to use double \\s to indicate that it's not an escape charecter! That could be the problem right there.

You can do the same thing with a single forward slash (/), its more portable.
