Thanks! Many thanks - I'll give that a go. Sorry it's been a while - I've had a nightmare project at work!

Fixed that bit - now another question Hello again Right, I got details on how to set up the MediaPlayer control as part of a form from the Microsoft website, so I can now play a file successfully. Now I want to play another straight afterwards (like on an album). The problem is, the code I run to play the next song is triggered by a change of playstate (when media ends) and it doesn't work. I can step through and see that it's running properly and check that the MediaPlayer controls are being processed correctly; they just don't do anything. My code is as follows: Private Sub PlaySong() Dim FileName As String FileName = TrackDetails(CurrentTrack).Item("FileName") MediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.stop() MediaPlayer1.URL = FileName MediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play() End Sub I'm running this when I click on a track and when a track finishes. It works for the MouseDown event but not for when the play state has changed. Any ideas welcome! Firebeard

How? Thanks for the tip Wraith. I've tried adding references to the DirectX runtimes, but I can't find them! Do they get installed as standard, or should I be downloading them?

Same problem I have the same problem as Geonab above. Is there a way around it? Cheers Firebeard
