Active MP3&WAV Player is an ActiveX control developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes easy to add sound playback capabilities to applications written with the most diffused development environments that accept ActiveX controls such as Visual Basic or Visual C. Thanks to a set of intuitive-named methods, programmers will be able to perform sound playback using the most diffused sound formats MP3 and WAV. The MP3 playback is based on the Xaudio engine: Xaudio provides the most robust and fastest MP3 engine implementation on all platforms, and is currently being used by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The control can also give to the programmer detailed information about the loaded sound file and is capable of retrieving the ID3V1 tag of MP3 files.

The control will work correctly on the development machine, so you will have the possibility to test it deeply without boring messages. When redistributed with your application, the control will sometime stop working correctly on target machines 20 days after having been inserted at design-time in the application project.
