Re: cdplayer code

You are trying to play audio CD, I think. So you should open device 
with type "cdaudio". 

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712776.aspx

"...
open - The open command initializes a device. All MCI devices 
recognize this command. 

To send this command, call the mciSendString function with the 
lpszCommand parameter set as follows.

wsprintf(
  lpszCommand, 
  "open %s %s %s", 
  lpszDevice, 
  lpszOpenFlags, 
  lpszFlags
); 

lpszDevice - Identifier of an MCI device or device driver. This can 
be either a device name (as given in the registry or the SYSTEM.INI 
file) or the filename of the device driver. If you specify the 
filename of the device driver, you can optionally include the .DRV 
extension, but you should not include the path to the file.

lpszOpenFlags - Flag that identifies what to initialize. The 
following table lists device types that recognize the open command 
and the flags used by each type.
