What I like to know is, is it possible to play a music file without having it on the PC

Like For example I put in a Window Media Player on my program, I want to play a song that you do not have on your computer

Is it possible for me to put that MP3 file into the program so that you do not need to have the MP3 file in the same folder as the program?

Im talking about when you open the program, music starts playing. and then repeat if only 1 song can be inputed, shuffle if more than 1 song

im sorry if it sounds confusing, I tried to explain it best that I can

i'm not sure how, because i haven't done it before, but a better explanation of what you're trying to do is embed an mp3 file as a resource in an application.

Do you want to embed the file or load it from the web? Because, from the web, it is as easy as assigning the path to be the web address "musicplayer.file = "www.lol.com/somemusic.mp3" (I forgot the names...)

u can embed it into the program i think but i normally just use the built in media player and a url

umm... i know that in vb.net, all you do is just put it inside the .resx (resourcses) thingy.

You could make it a resource, but I wouldn't do it that way.

Reason:
You can only add music if you
A. Compile it with the added music
B. Manually add it

The best way would be to remember the file location.

Process:
*load the file with all the locations
*check to see if the file is actually there
-if true, continue to load
-else
:erase from database
:display a message
*play music if found
*song end
-if more than one song, else repeat
:check to see if nothing happened to the file \\some one erased/moved the file
-if erased/moved, else play music
:erase from database
:display message
:move on to next file location in database and check
-if empty repeat what ever is in the database

It might be more work, but it's easier to add music. You could always make a file that holds the music files, but then you'll have to come up with a way to structure the file and removing/adding music files to it.
