How to play mp3 file in c++? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for the easiest way to play an MP3 file in C++. Either a library I could use and just call the function, given the filename, or alternatively something someone has already written that will just run and quit.

Answer 1

What platform are you on? You can check these out:

In case of windows/linux:
FMOD

In case you are programming only on windows/mac osx:
BASS

I would also look for some native APIs in Windows (if you are developing on that platform).

Answer 2

Qt comes to the rescue (again). The documentation even comes with demo code on how to implement a media player. It can play videos as well, btw.

Works on all platform and with the same syntax = WIN.
