Re: Cannot build sources in VC++ 6

Kristian , thanks for the explanation. Actually, I just wanted to toy around
with some MP3 decoding or even just PCM or WAV audio playback sources for
Win32. I want to develop a musician's toolkit for playing back audio files
at reduced speed but original pitch, indexing into portions of tracks,
etc...

Zinf is a rich player, more rich than I need. I just want to see some
barebones decoding and playback on Windows, WITHOUT using the MCI commands.
Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
