I haven't tried anything so far.Just I want to learn how it is done? — MaxCoder88, Sep 14 '11 at 06:12
@Selo: It's done by NAudio, the C# wave audio library, for example. Did you looked up for any, using google? — Alan Turing, Sep 14 '11 at 07:04

for that first you need to load wmp.dll from your system32 folder
Then you need to add COM component
Now you can do other things(creating player)

I have a tiny project (cutted NAudio version, only playback is left and only MP3 and WAV is supported) to play MP3 and WAV files. Do you still need it? I can upload it if you need to.

First of all ,thanks for your help.As you mentioned,I need sample project. – MaxCoder88 Sep 14 '11 at 06:27
You will get a link to download sample c# player, if you ask that in another question. Anyway, my proposal seems to be not correct. – Alan Turing Sep 14 '11 at 06:45

A full code example on how to play waves in c# forms apps can be found here

You can also play wave files using C# and the XNA Framework. But that may not serve your purpose, since that is primarily for games development.

To play MP3 in C# you steel need to decode programmatically (using FFT or other algorighm, used by mp3, ogg format) or using you video/accelerator card (please, do not laugh ;|, ATI and NVIDIA SDKs already is up to date) – Alan Turing Sep 14 '11 at 07:08
