Question

Is there a way to play mp3s in Qt 4.5?

Thanks!

Answer 1

example from Qt Assistant

QT += phonon

 Phonon::MediaObject *music =
     Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::MusicCategory,
                          Phonon::MediaSource("/path/mysong.mp3"));
 music->play();

works perfectly.

Answer 2

Phonon library from KDE has been included already in 4.4 release of QT.

I think there's even some sample code that ships with qt that shows how to utilize phonon to play mp3 files (and more).
