Can't Play Music...

[dc14]

When I try to run this program Turing just crashes saying that it's encountered an internal error.
I've used the exact same code on the school computers and it's worked fine.

I'm using Turing 4.1.1 and the school has the same one.

Anybody know what's wrong??

Turing:

import GUI process biotp loop Music.PlayFile ("MP3:biotp") end loop end biotp procedure newpage     fork biotp cls end newpage View.Set ("graphics:300;200,nobuttonbar ") var playmusic:int := GUI.CreateButtonFull(50, 10, 0, "Blame it on the Pop - by DJ Earworm",     newpage,0,'u',false)

What line does it crash on? Have you tried this with a different file?

[dc14]

It doesn't show where it crashed, a window just pops up informing me about the fatal internal error...
I've tried a bunch of other music files but they all just crash...

start taking pieces of code out, until the program does not crash.

[dc14]

alright I'll try that. Thanks.

ok so i tried took everything out except for the "Music.PlayFile ("MP3:biotp")" and it still crashes.
I guess that's the problem
i also tried changing it to "Music.PlayFile ("biotp.mp3")"

maybe this version just can't handle music files?

I also tried using a wav file...

[Tony]

code:

Music.PlayFile("name.mp3")

is the typical usage; and I haven't heard of the problems before, but you could try Turing 4.1 or 4.0.5 from http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/ (although you want your code to work at school as well...)

Test it out with another mp3 file from a different source. Encoding/DRM could be causing unexpected issues.

I downloaded 4.0.5 and it still doesn't work
I used one of my older song files that I downloaded differently and it still doesn't work...

Do you think it may have something to do with my Windows 7?

If it's actually crashing Turing, and not just the program, I'd guess that a reinstall would probably fix the problem.

Edit:As to the Windows 7 thing, I doubt it, but try running in XP compatibility mode to be sure.

There have been some people who had trouble getting Turing to run on Win7. If the same code+music_file runs on 2000/XP then it would be a stronger case against OS compatibilities.
