basically i'm trying to add an mp3 file as a resource in visual studio and then play it but somehow i can't find any examples online!
how is this possible??


EDIT: i've got it working on playing .WAV files but it takes alot of memory  😑

resource.h:

PHP Code


<?php 
#define IDR_WAVE1                       104 


function:

PHP Code


<?php 
HINSTANCE h = ::GetModuleHandle(0);
 HRSRC res = ::FindResource(h, MAKEINTRESOURCE(104), TEXT("WAVE"));
 if (res == 0)
 return;

 HGLOBAL global = ::LoadResource(h, res);
 if (global == 0)
 return;

 void* wav = ::LockResource(global);
 if (wav == 0)
 {
 UnlockResource(global);
 FreeResource(global);
 return;
 }

    PlaySound(LPCWSTR(wav), NULL, SND_MEMORY | SND_ASYNC | SND_NODEFAULT);
 
 UnlockResource(global);
 FreeResource(global); 


if anyone has a better solution to play embedded mp3 files not using 3rd party libraries, let me know

EDIT2: i think what i'll do is download the sound file and play it, it's easier and makes my binary lighter
