Jacque,
Are you talking about playing MP3 in a player object on systems without
QuickTime? If the system doesn't have QT installed the you are using
MCI. Whether or not MP3 will play depends on if an MCI- compatible
CODEC is installed. WMP 7.0 installs an MP3 CODEC which I believe is
MCI-compatible. Version 2 of ActiveMovie supports MP3 and has a driver
that MCI can use. Win 95 OSR2 included this. Based on some stuff I
read you may have to manually add the ActiveMovie MCI driver to get it
working though. I haven't tested this as all of my apps require QT.
The above is just based off of what I have researched on the web.
Thanks Trevor. Yes, I meant on machines that don't have QT installed. I
won't have much control over what codecs are on the machines, so it
sounds like mp3 files won't work consistently everywhere.
I'm trying to get a huge number of audio files (currently .wav format)
to fit on a single CD, and converting them to mp3 just might make them
small enough to fit. But if they won't play everywhere then that's not a
good choice.
