hey i had one question for my grade 10 final i was making a media player aswell..i had one question how did u get the user to locate the music folder and how can u get the music to play
all i have so far is music.playfile and then the title of the song in brackets it plays that song but i want more songs to play ..and i also wanted to get to locate it so they could listen a bunch of songs at once, not one at a time..i need help my teacher is being a douche and not helping he says to ask some ppl in class but no one knows so the help will be greatly appreciated

okay so the first thing you need to do is open the folder the music is in.
I had the user specify the name of the folder .
open folder using the Dir.Open command
to use the Dir.Open Commad you neeed a DirID var and a Folder name var
DirID needs to be an int
UserInput needs to be a string

DirID := Dir.Open (UserInput)


I then used the File.Get command to search for every file with the extensions
- .mp3
-.wav
-.mid
(turings supportable audio files)

i saved every filename into an array of strings

- The GUI and play interface is a little harder to explain, but if you understand the above then you should at least have a list of songs going

- good luck

yah i tired what u said to do but the program asks u to enter the folder and once u've entered the file it won't play the songs...here is what i have so far
var DirID : int
var foldername : string
setscreen("text")

put "Enter a file where your music is locate"
get foldername
DirID := Dir.Open (foldername)



process music
Music.PlayFile (foldername)
end music

fork music

Dir.Close(DirID)
if possible could u help me with my problem...i have the music files in a folder that is called music and is in the same folder as the program above but it still doesn't work

you can't play a folder so what you have to do is...

code:

var streamNumber : int         var fileName : string         streamNumber := Dir.Open ("Enter_foldername_here")         assert streamNumber > 0         loop             fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)             exit when fileName = ""             put fileName         end loop         Dir.Close (streamNumber)

use that bit of code to find all the files that CAN be played, then use the Music.PlayFile on the files that you FIND IN IT.

thanx for the help in opening the folder...the program now outputs the songs that are located in that folder but i still don't understand how i can make the Music.PlayFile to play the files that are in the folder where do i put this in the programe
code:
process music
Music.PlayFile ("")
end music

fork music
and one last thing what do i put in the brackets for the Music.PlayFile ...and thanx for the help guys

[gitoxa]

Music.PlayFile("SongName.mp3")

or

Music.PlayFile(String_Variable_Holding_Song_Name)

[petree08]

i saved the song names into an array of strings

that way i could scroll through them and use gui

[ums]

one last question i hope, how do u get the songs in to an array

[petree08]

using the file.get command, get individual file names and place it into an array.
