>You found the right DLL. For information on how to play CD's see Rick Strahl's WWMCI class at West Wind Technologies. You can either use his class directly or disect it to find out how to do it yourself.

Yeah, after Michel's reply, I looked through the thread's file section and found it. It's great! I was playing with it all night last night! It's exactly what I was looking for. I just need to find out how to determine the length of each track in seconds so I can do some more sophisticated things. I'm trying to make my CD player/catalog a cut above Microsofts (shouldn't be TOO hard!).

Thanks for your help!!

Steve.
